Academy Day 15/365
7:00 am
As the days began to pass the students of Liberty Gardens began to fall into place with their education. Some had gained new friendships while others dreaded tests that had began to approach like silent predators upon their grades while others fell into a daily routine. Livi, without fail would arrive at Carlo's dorm room every morning at six to pick up their egg (Carlos had decided to dub it speckles after it's coloring) and take it for a morning run. Why exactly? Well he was much too tired to ask anyway and slipped back into bed until she returned. Orange of course started his own routine for the day. He had a knack for cooking and served breakfast ready on the small oak table. Ivysaur and Vulpix always keen to help as they set out food for their pokemon companions. Plusle and Minun would have to coax Carlos into leaving the comfort of his bed to fill his stomach. At this point Livi would return with a light bead of sweat on her brow and Umbreon looking similar to return 'speckles' while grabbing an extra piece of toast Orange had set out for her. Thus the average morning in Room 21.

Hallway
7:40 am
"Seriously? Meg can't you let this slide just once?"
"Once? Rein you've been late for class 12 times and counting!" Megan stated looking rather annoyed with the raven haired girl.
Although the two now stood on a nick name basis they weren't exactly the closest and best of friends quite yet. Megan, being given the duty of hall guard, was to patrol and hand out detention slips to those arriving to class late. Rein of course as you may have realized was no exception.
"Oh come on Megan. Tell you what I'll treat you to some tea later if you let me off this time."
"Rein no amount of tea is going to bribe me. I'm a person of the law!"
"But how come that person can get away with being late?" Rein pointed past the law abiding student.
Megan looking rather displeased that someone was running loose while she was on guard turned her head quickly to find the culprit. To her dismay there was no one there and she could only hear the sound of footsteps running away.
"Rein! Get back here right now!"
"You snooze you lose Meggy!"

Academy Day 15/365
Theater Department
11:00 am
Now if there was one thing Ty was incapable of doing no matter how many hours he practiced would be acting. The minute he read off the first few lines the two girls in the seating looked as if Jigglypuff had been singing to them opera. However, even if they write him off as a dramatic failure there was something he found more suitable to his talents. If you could put his face to a phrase it would be "Lights, Camera, and Action!" Well more so the lights portion. Now what started as a complete accident and wrong place, wrong time moment had turned into something highly enjoyable for Ty. Over the past few days he had been put in charge of all electrical equipment as well as controlling any light cues needed for the actors on stage. The girl who originally placed a script in his hand ended up being Alphonsine McLaren or 'Ally' as most of the drama department referred to her as. She was a nice gal, big ambitions, rather loud but knew her stuff. You couldn't miss her even if you weren't looking with that fiery hair color of hers. But that just added to her subtle charm. She was in charge of all the pokemon actors which meant their costumes, their dance movements, and even any moves they were to use for whatever play they were performing. Currently they had begun to piece together Liberty Gardens portrayal of Romeo and Juliet a tragedy. Ally was good at what she did. After all her dream was to become a top coordinator and being a member of the theatrical workshop gave her good practice at it.
"Ty give us a blue light here on downstage left."
The electric type trainer nodded hearing Ally's voice through the headset as he looked down from the sound booth to the people choreographing onstage. "Gotcha."
"The light isn't…it isn't. Hm..It's not-" Ally obviously sounded displeased at the effect mumbling something here and there that Ty couldn't pick up and probably wasn't meant to. "Oh! Ty your Flaffy! Yes it's perfect!"
"Lume?"
"Yes! We will charge the blue light with your Flaffy's electricity! Oh how clever I am aren't I?"
He watched as she happily exited the stage to head somewhere backstage. It wasn't long before another voice sounded over the headset.
"Yo Ty. We got a bit of a problem here at the mechanics under stage. Something's wrong with the machine and we think it might be the electrical output."
"I'll be done in a minute. Come on Flaaffy we got a job to do." He chuckled as his companion shyly followed suit.

Battling Facility #3
2:00 pm
"Please may I have everyone's attention?" the instructor called out from the sidelines of the battling square to the students seated in the audience bleachers. The class began to settle down their conversations as the teacher nervously looked from face to face before speaking, "It's very nice to meet you all. I will be your instructor for Double Battle Systems this year and I hope I can help you succeed this year." He nodded glancing at the clipboard in his hand. You could tell he was a very timid teacher but obviously gentle as well. He had brown hair that was quite long for a male as it reached his chin but he kept it out of his way with a single green clip that also matched his eye color. At his side sat a Leafeon who matched it's trainer almost exactly but body movement and the way it carried itself."Oh! I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lysander Luido so please call me Mr. Luido or Professor Luido if you prefer.
"Eh!? Luido? But that's Vice President Livi's name!" Someone stood up surprised at the sudden development which caused others to begin to whisper or question here and there.
"I see you all know my little sister. I do hope you all can be friends with her please. She's quite fragile like a butterfree." He asked causing everyone to remain quiet trying not to laugh. "Now shall we get started?" Luido said growing slightly more excited for his class to begin. "As you know you all will be having your first school competition in two weeks time. It won't be anything like the Liberty League but it will give you practice, strengthen your bonds with your class, and for you to make an early impression on the staff who will be selecting the participants for the League but you should make well with Ms. Morris as she is the head professor this year." He went on explaining making some lean on the edge of their seats with this new knowledge. "You will be competing as a class against other classes in a bracket tournament. The winning class will be receiving a special prize but…" he paused looking rather guilty, "I've seemed to have forgotten what it was."
"It is a field trip to a pokemon inn and spa in Liberty Forest for three days."
"Oh that was it wasn't it? Thank you so much Livi you are so helpful." Lysander smiled brightly at his sister before repeating the same statement to his class.
Orange and Carlos who had been sitting next to each other shared a look of disbelief. Did the Academy really fund that kind of trip? Think of how amazing it would be if their class won? I mean relaxation, time to unwind, free food, and all the girls would have swimsuits. Not that that's why Carlos wanted to go or anything but it would be a huge plus.
"Now I believe a demonstration would be the best way to start today. Livi? Would you mind battling with me for now?"
"Ehh!? You two are going to battle?"
"Then I will use Leafeon and-" he was unable to finish his sentence as one of his pokemon broke free from its pokeball and materialized on one of the seats in the crowd.
"KYAAAAAAAA BUG!"
"Oh Miss Aida please do not worry! Swadloon will not hurt you please calm down."

Headmistress's Office
"The two of you are behind as the year has already started but please do not fret. I'm positive you two will adapt quite fast to everyone here at Liberty Gardens." Headmistress Burgess nodded at the two students seated in front of her. "Please do feel free to return if you have any questions you would like answered. You are here as Elite students so I ask that you also use your skills to help your fellow peers."
The two students didn't say a word but merely nodded in understanding. The girl seated in the chair on the left had long braided brown hair that swayed with every move she made. The boy seated in the chair to the right was brunette but had stunning eyes that were a mixture of blue and green at the same time.
"Stephen Russel , Veniza Hijiri. Welcome to Liberty Gardens."
AN: Remember if you have anything you would like to change about your character please send me a message and we can discuss. If you think there are places I am able to improve on please also do the same. Do you want to see more of something? Shoot me a PM to let me know.
I'm excited for a more buggy chapter next. Tony will sure have an important part in this one.
