JPTA Chapter 1
What is This Business?
Woo, alrighty then, let's get started!
I'll credit those who sent me their OCs at the bottom of the page in the chapter they appear in like I always do, okay?
Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon or a good amount of OCs in this story!
Please rate and Review! …that always motivates me to write faster.
Songs you can listen to while reading:
Any of the pokemon titles (lol)
Fifteen (Taylor Swift)
Communication Breakdance (Super Butter Dog)
Yeah, those are all COMPLETELY different songs, I know, but oddly enough, they all fit…
Opening my eyes, I sat up in a field of pure gold, staring up at the pure, blue sky.
"How…did I get here? …I must have fallen asleep again…"
"Master! Master!" a voice called out as Maximus started to dash towards me from across the field. It wasn't until he got closer that I was able to tell that it was him who was speaking to me.
"M-Maximus!" I gasped "You can talk?"
"Of course, Master. I could always talk, it's just that my voice wasn't able to reach you until now."
"We've known each other for NINE YEARS and your voice hasn't been able to reach me until NOW?" I sobbed, looking at my loyal companion pitifully "I'm sorry, Maximus…I failed you as a trainer…"
"Nonsense, the fact that you can understand me now means I'm free!"
"Free?" I asked, dumbly jumping to the conclusion that by "free" he meant that one Soul Eater character.
Just then, Maximus started to glow before changing shape. Soon in his place stood a magnificently tall, pale, and elegant looking man with dark purple eyes and orange fluffy hair with red tips. He wore a pure white suit along with white dress shoes.
"M-Maximus!" I cried out from pure astonishment, looking at what once was my faithful ponyta. "You're a human?"
"Oh, I'm more then that." He charmed, taking my hand and bending down so we were at the same height. "In actuality, I'm the lost prince of a land called Wales, and I'm to be married to the fair princess, Bianca!"
"I just have one question…can I be the best man?"
"I wouldn't dream of anybody else!" he smiled warmly, standing up straightly and guiding me across the field.
"Follow me to the land of Wales!"
"Land of Wales!" We chanted merrily together, as my outfit was replaced with a simple black tux.
"Land of Wales, land of Wales, Wales, Wales, Wales, Wales!"
"Eri!"
"Huh, what?" I mumbled as I snapped out of my bizarre dreamland, only to see that I had fallen asleep on my childhood friend, Sung, and was clasped tightly to his arm. "Oh, uh…sorry." I said embarrassedly, releasing the poor boy and wiping most of the drool off his sleeve.
"You kept on saying 'Wales' in your sleep, were you dreaming about wailords?"
"No…no I was not dreaming about wailords…" I said, recalling the strangeness of my dream. "I really need to stop chugging down so much soda…"
"Why's that?"
I turned to face Sung before I said "It can really screw with your mind, bro."
"I see…" He said in an awkward tone before sitting back in his airplane seat.
"By the way, Sung…" I said, grabbing his attention once again, "How long before reaching Jotoh?"
Before he could open his mouth, the intercom turned on and one of the attendants spoke: "please refasten your seatbelts, the plane will be landing now."
"Well that was strangely convenient."
"Stupid intercom cut me off…"
"Aw, is little baby Sung upset?"
"Shut up, Eri! I'm older then you!"
"well…shmeh!"
"What does that even mean?"
"I don't know, I made it up…"
"You're so weird."
"You've known me for fourteen years, and you're just NOW noticing this?"
Our conversation went on like that until the plane landed and we got up to get off. Feeling light headed from standing up after sitting for such a long time, I released Maximus from his pokeball so I could ride on him. Before climbing on, I stared at him for a bit and awkwardly asked "…you…you wouldn't happen to be the lost prince of the land of Wales…would you?"
The "WTF?" look he was giving me, while raising a brow let me know that he had absolutely no idea what I was talking about, and the entire thing was all in my head. How boring…
"Eri!" Sung called out, his blue t-shirt blowing so rapidly in the wind that you could hardly make out the ying-yang on the front, though his spiky black hair was so short the wind barely had any effect. "Are you coming?"
"Yeah, sorry!" I called back, "I was just…clearing up something!"
Maximus caught up with the fifteen year old in an instant before slowing down his pace, and trotting beside him cheerfully. Sung was actually one of the only people Maximus trusted besides myself (which is odd, because he hates males for the most part), but that's probably because he sees him as another member of the family rather then a threat trying to take me away from him.
"ALRIGHT, LET'S GET OUR LUGGAGE AND HEAD OFF TO THE JPTA!" I cheered, pumping my fist into the air. "…how far off is it, anyway?"
"Well, let's see." Sung sighed, pulling out his guidebook and trying as hard as he could to read it without it flying away in the wind…why was it so freaking windy? "We should be able to catch a bus here, reserved for students to get to the academy at two…so we better hurry!"
"Here, hop on!" I said, extending my hand out for him to reach…which he did, pulling himself on Maximus's back as the fire horse picked up speed, dashing into the airport so we could go to the little revolving luggage carrier…thingy.
"Not mine, not mine, not mine, not mine, oh, look Sung, there's yours!" I beamed, pointing to a boring camo-green, briefcase looking suitcase, just entering onto the carrier, followed by my cheerful orange one with a smiley face on the front…don't judge me.
"Ah, quick, grab them so we don't miss the bus!"
"Rodger!" I shouted, leaping onto the carrier and jumping to the other side before grabbing the bags and tuck-rolling off, onto the ground. Sung and Maximus then greeted me on the other side of the carrier before I was pulled back up an on my steed as he dashed off, full speed.
"Eri!" Sung breathed, letting my get to the front of Maximus so I could take control. "What time is it?"
"1:58"
"We have two minutes, do you think we'll make it in time?"
"Think?" I laughed "Don't doubt me, good sir. Just who exactly do you thing I am?"
"…my best friend?"
"Not the answer I was looking for, but good enough!" I smirked, taking a left turn to avoid crashing into a wall. As Maximus picked up speed, Sung wrapped his arms around my waist to avoid falling off the ponyta that was dodging left and right to avoid crashing into people. Once the bus came into sight, the clock struck two and the bus's motor turned on.
"I Arceus, they're gonna leave without us!" my asian companion cried.
"Psh, no they're not!" I said, kicking my heels into Maximus's sides before telling Sung to hold on tight. Once the buss came within ten feet of us, I told my trusty steed to return as I clicked his pokeball and lept off him with Sung as the white and red fire type disappeared below us into the white and red orb in my hand. We flew ten feet into the bus through the closing doors before sliding into a conveniently open booth.
"YAHOO!" I cheered "We made it! Nothing can stop team Awesome-sauce!"
"…I thought we were team impossible…"
"I'm the team leader, so I say we're team awesome-sauce!"
"What? I'm older, so I should be team leader!"
"Yeah, but I'm stronger then you!"
"That's only because I'm going to take over my family ranch so I focus all my energy on breeding and ranching!"
"Hey, I ranch too! I also do contests sometimes, I made it to the third round!"
"Yeah, out of five…"
"Shut up! It was my first time, okay?"
"AHEM!" A third voice cut into our banter as we turned to see a clearly annoyed, over weight bus driver glowering down out us. "Excuse me…" he hissed "I'm sorry, but this seat is reserved."
"Right, sorry." Sung smiled, apologetically as he dragged me out of the seat.
"Ow!" I said, clasping my hip "Yep, that's definitely gonna bruise."
"It's your own fault. You're crazy, you know that?"
"Yeah, but would you love me as much if I wasn't?"
"You got me there." He smiled.
Looking around, all the bus seats were full, so we had to stand instead. Looking for a handle to grab onto, a brunette boy looking about 16 stopped me.
"Hey," He smiled, his dark brown eyes glinting at me mischievously. "That was a mighty impressive entrance right there. You're pretty crafty, are you a trainer?"
"Eh…kinda, my occupation is a bit…complicated."
"Well, are you strong?"
"You bet I am!"
"Well then let's have a battle!"
"Any time, anywhere!"
"Right here, right now!"
"Oh, bring it, creampuff!"
"Creampuff? Why I'm—"
He was cut off by Sung grabbing my ponytail and dragging me off as he sighed "Don't talk to strangers, Eri…"
"I'm Eri, by the way!" I called out to the boy.
"Jaden!" He replied, "We'll have our battle once we get the chance!" He called after me.
"Ow,! Ow! Ow!" I cried, grabbing onto my ponytail with both hands "Sung, this really hurts!"
"Don't care." He growled "It's behavior like That'll get us kicked off the bus! Now grab onto something, we have to go through two towns before we get to the school."
"Okay…"
We were silent for a few minutes as the bus drove off, leaving the airport. I didn't speak until I couldn't take it anymore, that boy could make me feel so guilty at sometimes, ugh!
"S-sung?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry I acted so rashly…You're right, it's that childish and over excitable behavior of mine that gets people kicked off of things, or worse…banned."
"No, I just overreacted and didn't keep a close enough eye on you, I should be used to your actions by now, anyway."
"…so you forgive me?"
"Yeah."
"…Sung?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm really glad you got accepted too, It'd be really lonely without you around."
"Same to you, kid. Same to you…"
"Oh my gosh…" a random kid said, looking at us from behind "It's just like a soap opera!"
(Time Skip :D)
"Freedom!" I cried, leaping off the bus, taking a breath of fresh air. And guess what? It wasn't windy!
"Eri?" I silky smooth, male voice rang in my ears as I looked over to see 29 years of charcoal haired, blue eyed awesomeness standing there to greet me.
"Souske!" I cheered, leaping into his arms as he pet me on the head and said disappointedly "How long is it going to be before you call me uncle?"
"It sounds weird though…" I pouted, stomping on one foot as Sung exited the bus.
"Ah, greetings, Oji-san"
"See? He does it, and I'm not even his uncle!"
"…whatever…"
"Jeez…anyway, follow me, I'll take you two to get your uniforms and schedules…by the way, Riri, have you decided which group you'll join? That pretty much decides which classes you'll take and which uniforms you'll buy."
"Hmm…" I thought, "Onee-chan's a coordinator and way better then me at that so not blue…Onii-chan's a researcher, so not green, Sai's taking over the ranch, so not yellow…I'm far to squeamish and light hearted to be a white, so that pretty much leaves me a red!"
"Wow, you really hate copying people, don't you?"
"Yep, ORIGINALLITY FTW!"
"Well then…what about you, Sung?"
"I'm fine being a yellow, thanks."
"That's what I thought you'd say."
We walked for about ten minutes before we reached the most magnificent school campus I have ever been blessed enough to witness. There was a cobble stone path with cherry-berry trees framing it. There was one large building at the and of the path and six smaller buildings before it (three on both the left and right side of the main circular like road). Booths were placed in front of five of the six smaller buildings, each with a sign saying the color group they were. There was a huge forest surrounding the entire place, and small gravel trails extending off the cobble stone into the forest, my guess, leading to the dorms. The school's look was completed by a pool and track in the back, a water fountain with a statue Arceus in the middle of it, and a clock tower on the top of the main building.
"I've finally reached it…" I whispered to myself, almost teary eyed "heaven on earth…"
"Come on, Riri, or we'll leave you behind!" Souske called, already way ahead of me.
"Sorry, coming!"
"Alright, Sung." Souske said, turning to my friend "Since you're the most responsible out of the two…"
"Heeey!"
"AND Eri's my Niece, I'll leave you to get registered on your own, we'll meet up with you later."
"Okay, see ya." He said, walking off to the yellow line.
"Now let's get you signed in, okay?"
"Okay."
Despite the fact that the line was long, we actually got to the front quite quickly. There in the booth sat a serious looking older lady who smelled a lot like toothpaste, strangely…
"Name and invite, please?"
"Ah, I'm Eri Tsukimoto, and here." I said, handing her the white envelope.
"Okay, that's all good…now place your hand on the scanner, please."
"Uh…scanner?"
"It just tests your DNA and looks up your history and interests to decide the best classes for you." My uncle reassured me as I placed my hand on the clear mechanism before it glowed red and a piece of paper came out of the side.
"Here's all your classes and which buildings they'll be held in, money was taken out of your account for your uniforms, they'll be delivered to you tonight, and you'll start school first thing tomorrow. Curfew is ten, breakfast is at eight, your classes start at nine and end at three. Your room is 216 on the third floor of the girls dormitory, just follow that trail to the left and you'll get there."
"Uh…that trail leading into the woods?"
"Yes."
"How do you know there isn't any deranged rapists/serial killers or psycho pokemon in there."
"I don't"
"Well that's reassuring…"
"The security here's pretty tight, and you wouldn't have gotten accepted here if you didn't know how to take care of yourself…"
"That's true…but what if it's a sneak attack, and—"
"Miss, you're holding up the line."
"Sorry!" I frowned stepping out of line.
"Oh, and miss? Girls aren't allowed in the boy's dormitory after dark unless an extreme emergency and the other way around."
"Okay!" I said walking off with Souske to the trail before he stopped me.
"Alright, Riri, I have to get back to work now, so good luck. It may seem over whelming now, but You'll get used to it here in no time, okay?"
"Yeah…" I smiled reassuringly towards him before adding "Try not to over-work yourself…"
"As long as you don't fall asleep on the trail on your way to the dorms."
"No promises…" I chuckled before we headed out separate paths. The trail was actually longer then I thought it would be but seeing the large, ivy covered brick dorm made the walk so worth it. Over excited as usual, I dashed into the main lobby and up two flights of stairs before reaching the third floor and I slowly made my way down the hall, looking for my room number.
"213…214…215…126! Ah, here we go!" I beamed, opening the door to see a navy haired girl sitting on the first of two beds, reading a novel of some sort. Her face brightened as she looked up and noticed me.
"Ah!" She said dropping the book and hopping off the bed before walking up and shaking my hand firmly. "Hi, I'm Ami Wakanari, a fifteen year old medic training to be like Nurse Joy. I guess we'll be roommates now, huh?"
"Yeah, I guess so!" I beamed, gripping my bag and schedule, glad to be living with such a friendly person. "I'm Eri Tsukimoto, I'm a fourteen year old multi-purposeful trainer…I guess, anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"The pleasure's all mine, you can put your bags on the bed over there, if you'd like."
"Ok, thanks." I said, walking over to place my bags on the bed before…
Squish!
I dropped my things fro the shock of what just happened…
"Wow, Eri-chan, you're pretty big aren't you?" Ami asked, caressing my chest with her perverted little hands, "what are you, a D-cup? No wait, almost, you're still a C, aren't you? Barely though, but you're only fourteen, so you've still got quite a bit of growing to do. Wow, for someone your age, you've got a great figure!"
My face officially turned the color of my hair.
"N-no comment…" I squeaked, still in shock of what she was doing.
Okay, getting groped by my seemingly normal roommate…I can officially add this to the list of things I didn't expect to encounter at this school…
Just then, Maximus released himself from his pokeball, and shoved Ami off me with his snout before standing in front of me, protectively on his hind legs and spreading his front legs wide crying out "Nyeeeeh, nyeh, nyeh-nay! (Back off, sister! I saw her first!)"
"I wasn't hurting her, sheesh!" Ami pouted, glaring at Maximus…who glared right back.
Okay, huge campus, a machine that knows everything about me by scanning my hand, several uniforms, AND a pervert roommate? If I was sure of one thing, it would be a long year…
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Yay, I'm Done! :DDDDDDD
I hope you liked it, because unlike the prologue, I actually WORKED on this chapter!
It turned out too long, so I'm splitting the first day into two parts, the first day at school and the first day in classes (that's chapter two)
Yes, you can still send me OCs, but again, I don't really need more reds, greens, whites and teachers are the best right now, blues and yellows are okay too!
I really like Eri and Sung's childhood friends relationship, Eri's the goofball, take charge one and Sung's the follow after who picks her up when she falls. It's so sweet! Just like siblings in a way…
Pleeeease rate and review! I'll love you forever! (especially if you're a regular)
Imma go ahead and credit the creators of the OCs now, kay?
Ami: Narutastic1337
Jaden: slayerboy929
Sung: SungEd159
PEACE!
