Nala's POV
"Wake up!! Wake up!! WAKE UP!!" a robotic voice droned on and on from my bedside table. "Ugh..." I moaned "It's too early to get up. Go away!" as I snuggled deeper underneath my warm and comfortable blanket too only have it unexpectedly whipped away from my body. "Uh! What! So Cold!!" I exclaimed in shock as I suddenly sat up in my bed shivering and blinking my sleepy eyes. I rubbed the sleep from my drowsy eyes as I peered at whatever cruel creature woke me up from my wonderful dream of me and David snogging... Whoa! I don't like my best friend! No Way! I sighed, who was I kidding anyways. Of course I like him but right now is not the time for unhappy thoughts. No. Now is time to torture whoever woke me up.
I slipped on my hot pink, fluffy buneary slippers and stood up, desperately trying to look taller than I really was and glowered at whoever woke me. It was my adoptive mum, Maria Gemihd. She was tapping her foot with her hands on her hips with an amused look on her round, chubby face.
Wait...why was I at home not traveling? I pondered this question and my face must have shown it because Mum answered my silent question. "School, darling. Don't you remember?" she questioned gently. "You came home late last night after flying from Sinnoh. The Rainbow Academy Bus will be here soon so hurry up and get changed so you can come down and have breakfast. I made your favourite!" and with that she flounced downstairs.
I quickly ran into the bathroom in excitement. Oh, how could I have forgotten! I had gotten accepted to the elite Rainbow Academy along with my best friend David who lives in Sinnoh. I brushed my teeth and took a quick shower. As I stepped out I wrapped a white, fluffy towel around me and blow dried my slightly wavy, waist length, silvery blonde hair. After my hair was dry I peered into the mirror while putting on some mascara and cinnamon flavoured lip gloss. Usually I didn't wear makeup but today was a special day! I rushed out of the bathroom to my closet and pulled out a pale purple long sleeve shirt striped with dark blue and black yoga pants. I then grabbed all the rest of my clothes and stuffed them into a yellow suitcase and plunked it beside my banana yellow duffle bag. Finally I grabbed my stuff and ran down the stairs and almost killed myself. I hurriedly placed my bags at the entrance and rushed back to the table and sat down at the table in front of a steaming plate of toast and fried egg. Yum!
"Good Morning Mum! Good Morning Dad!" I cried before devouring my delicious breakfast in 10 seconds (okay maybe 15 minutes) flat. I got up from the table and zipped to the entrance and grabbed my white pea coat and my rusty red uggs with tassels with my adoptive parents trailing behind me. I looked up at my parents tearfully, finally letting myself to slow down for a moment. I wouldn't see them till next year but at least I could call. I gazed at my parents. Oh how I wished they were my biological parents. Then I wouldn't always have to remember that my original parents didn't want me. Maybe it would be easier if we all looked more alike but we were all so different! I had pointed ears, a slim yet short pixie like structure, catlike face, wide almond shaped stormy dark blue eyes with flecks of teal and long, slightly wavy, silvery blonde hair. My mum had bushy brown hair, a round, chubby face, a stout hubby body, emerald eyes and freckles. While my dad was tall and lanky with pale blue eyes, red hair and freckles.
I leaned forward, blinked away the tears and choked out "Group Hug!" We all hugged, unwilling to let go until the grandfather clock chimed 7:00am. "You got to go now darling or you'll miss your bus. Don't worry about us. We will always be here waiting for you." whimpered my mum as she wiped her eyes. I opened the door and waved goodbye for what was the last time to my kind parents and stepped outside into the snow to start my new life at Rainbow Academy.
David's POV
I blew on my freezing hands as I stood outside at the bus stop, waiting for the Rainbow Academy bus to arrive. Even though I was wearing my black and white ski jacket with black snow pants, ivy green and silver boots and my dark green toque with a poke ball on the front I was still freezing! I hoped that the inside of the bus was warmer. That reminded me! I couldn't believe I had made it to the best school for upcoming trainers, breeders, coordinators and researchers and what made it even better was that my best friend had made it too! I couldn't wait! I cocked my ear as I heard a low rumbling sound coming from the north. I stared closely at the foggy road until a rainbow coloured bus appeared from the gloom. Finally!
It cruised to a stop in front of me and the doors swung open, nearly hitting me in the face. I grunted as I lifted my duffle bag and suitcase and climbed the stairs and was hit by a blast of warm air and nearly sagged in relief. I sighed as I sat down across from another sleeping boy and let out all my Pokémon as I gawked in disbelief at what the kid was wearing! It was the dead of winter and he was wearing a blue and white t shirt and dark green shorts with black running shoes. I started to plan how to play a prank on him when a voice startled me. "What are you staring at dude? Didn't your mom ever tell you it was rude to stare?" a unknown voice stated. I examined the brown haired boy closer trying to see if he was the one who spoke when he quickly opened his eyes and started laughing exuberantly. "What!" I frowned in confusion!
"Your face...It was sooo funny!!" he snorted and extended a hand. "I'm Corey. Corey Spina. What's your name?" he declared imploringly. "I'm David Qypy. I really like your Empoleon. Is he your starter?" I replied. Boy was I lucky. One minute into my trip and I already had a friend, it just showed how awesome I was. "Thanks. Your Infernape is cool too." he remarked. "So, do you live in Floroma town? I live in Snowpoint city. I wonder where the Rainbow academy is... Wanna battle" Corey questioned as he pulled on yellow and blue fingerless gloves.
Suddenly the bus lurched forward and then squealed to a stop. I hastily peeked out the window to see an asian looking girl with shoulder length, slightly curly purple hair crossing the road while eating a chocolate bar with a dreamy expression on her face. She didn't seem to realize that a bus had almost ran her over. Right behind her a Ludicolo scampered behind her dancing around holding a purple and silver duffle bag and suitcase. "Holy! She is going to Rainbow Academy too!" I whispered to Corey as she stepped onto the bus and wandered towards a seat...right beside me. I grinned in delight and checked her out. She was pretty in her own way and had silver eyes that were bright with curiosity and she was wearing a white sleeveless tunic covered by a Gyrados-themed hoodie and black corduroy shorts. I sighed, was I the only one who wore pants in the winter?
"So....What's your name cutie?" I asked as I smiled flirtingly.
