Chapter 3: First Day

"Ah those are the first years faces I love to see on the first day," Kuro commented as the group of first years entered the Entei Red dining hall looking exhausted. Most of the first years minus a few just groaned in reply. About thirty minutes prior the new students had been awoken to Kuro banging on the walls and doors. "Come now. No whining and eat your breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day." The group just groaned more as Kuro acted like a caring mother.

Jackie and October chuckled at their dorm mates as they grabbed their trays of toast, eggs, and bacon. Like the previous night they sat down at the same table as their dorm head where they were joined by Kaori and Vrasilisk. "You two sleep well last night?" Kaori asked a devilish smile across his face.

"I slept perfectly, thank you" Jackie said with a mouthful of food. Pyrite as per usual for Jackie sat outside a ball eating a bowl of pokémon food, nodded in agreement with his trainer.

"You did? The scratching didn't annoy you?" October asked his roommate surprised.

"What scratching?"

"You will grow used to the scratching October. Jackie there is scratching inside of the walls. You hear it mostly at night when everyone is sleeping and the dorm is quiet," Vrasilisk commented in the conversation. Jackie took note of the fact that as he spoke his speech was very proper and his voice had a unique tone of calm and gentleness.

Kuro was the one who spoke next once the third year had finished. "It's probably rattata and other small pokémon living inside the walls. Just don't knock any holes in the walls and you'll be fine and by that I mean the whole dorm."

"Okay," the two boys nodded with serious expressions on their faces.

"Anyways time for schedules." The one eyed teacher stood from his seat and walked to the front of the dining hall by a table with a lot of papers on it. The hall was noisy with chatter so no students paid attention until he slammed his hand down on the table making a loud banging noise resonate throughout the hall. "Listen up newbies! Here I have your schedules. For your first year here you will take basic classes and learn the basics in those classes. Next year you will choose a major and your classes will center around that major. Details of that will be provided towards the end of the year. Now the schedules you will receive have the times of classes and location. They will say L or R on them alongside the room number. The R stands for the side with the unpleasant looking tower connected to it that you entered for the assembly. The L is the side with the marvelous tower connected to it."

At this point Vrasilisk stepped in front of him to cut off his explanation. "Before you all end up in the wrong class let me explain something. L is the part connected to the burned tower and R is the one connected to the non-burned one. I hope it is obvious that Kuro does not see the towers the same as most do. Now I will let him finish explaining," he finished, sitting back down.

Kuro chuckled at him before continuing. "Rooms are numbered as L1, L2, R1, R2 etc. They have the same numbers but different letters. If you're pokémon need healing then go to the pokémon center which you saw when you came in. It's the center of the building for those of you that missed that. Both ends curve to connect to the cafeteria for lunch which is at the center towards the backside. Outside behind the school are fields for training though today you won't have to worry about those today. Now come up here and find your schedule with your name on it."

The reds including second and third years flocked to the table finding their schedules amongst the piles. Jackie looked down at his reading what it said:

"Well this is an interesting schedule," Jackie said to himself. "October what's your schedule?" Jackie asked. The two then compared schedules seeing the only classes they had together were Pokémon Studies, Human Health, and the Friday classes though those were the same for all the reds. The two exchanged small sad smiles at each other and shrugged.

As the first years talked and discussed their schedules they were approached by their seniors with Kaori as the leader. "Warning to all of you guys about certain teachers. Sicilia-listen to her and never be late for her classes. She's really strict. Kuro-he's cool most of the time but don't start with him. Phoenix-don't let him find out your secrets or you will regret it. Be careful around him with anything you do or say. Tanaka-The guy may seem like a dolt but he is actually dangerous. In other words behave yourselves in those four teachers' classes." The other seniors nodded their heads vigorously at Kaori's words, the first years gulped in fear as a result of the many scared faces of their older classmates.

It was soon time for class and the students began entering the school for their classes. As they walked along the L hall they noticed that unlike the R hall, this one was painted to look as though one was running alongside the legendary beasts. They walked until they found their class at the end of the hall, right before the cafeteria. Entering they found it to be like a small lecture hall with lavender haired teacher standing at the front greeting students as they came in. "Jackie, October," the two heard a feminine voice. Turning their heads they found Midori and Robin sitting down already with seats open on either side of the two Raikou students, their pokémon sat in their laps. Walking up the stairs Jackie sat down next to Midori, Pyrite sitting in his lap while October took the seat next to Robin as they waited for class to start.

"Welcome," the teacher spoke up right on the dot. "My name is Tanaka as the Raikou's already know but for those of you who aren't Raikou's this is your first time meeting me. I'm head of the Raikou Yellow dorm and for this class I will be teaching you Pokémon Studies."

"Pokémon Studies! That means I'm in the wrong class, oh man!" the boy sitting next to Jackie yelled out as he ran out of the room.

"Anyways if you're in the wrong class then head to yours and if not then well good. There is most likely still some who have yet to arrive here so I will save attendance for later." Just as Tanaka had predicted there were some late students, one much to the surprise of Jackie's group was Julian. The red head ran up the stairs looking for a seat. The other student who he had come in with took one open seat leaving only one other which was the now empty one next to Jackie, much too both boys chagrin.

"Well then I'm going to pass around the syllabus and we'll go over it." This incited some groans from the class. "Alright then since that doesn't seem to excite you. This worked about two years ago so maybe it will help now. We'll instead for fun spend the first class talking about the human mating process." Several students started freaking out about this comment, begging him not to and to instead go with his original plan of going over the syllabus. "Okay then…" Tanaka said to himself as he started passing stacks of syllabi down the rows.

"I think that might be what the seniors were talking about," October whispered to Jackie, to which the other boy nodded upon remembering the warnings they were given this morning.

When he passed by Julian the red head was able to notice his teacher's features more clearly. His lavender hair was short cut in a common style, and his eyes were the same lavender as his hair. He again wore a long sleeved white button up, black slacks, and black shoes however now Julian could see that his shirt seemed to be ready to rip despite looking like it would fit him well. What Julian noticed the most, despite it not being his most obvious one, was that the teacher was not tall and seemed to be a little on the short side for an adult male.

"Why are you staring at our teacher so intently?" Jackie whispered to Julian causing him to jump and his face to take on a red tint of annoyance and embarrassment.

"I wasn't you idiot."

"No need to name call Mr. Grumpy."

"Hypocrite."

"Would you two behave and stop acting like children," Midori scolded the two, annoyed by their fighting.

"Yes mother," they grumbled in unison, earning them a glare from the girl.

Tanaka by then had finished handing out the syllabi and started going over it. Most of the class time was spent on this and after it was finished the young teacher took attendance. After attendance they had about ten minutes left of class. "Well then with ten minutes left I think I will let you guys go. Some of you may have Sicilia next and I doubt you want to be on her bad side," he chuckled, releasing the students.

"See ya," October said waving as he headed towards his next class.

"Bye," Jackie replied pulling out his schedule. Next to him Julian did the same and then a moment later the two were being dragged by Midori who had grabbed their wrists.

"H-hey what are you doing!?" Julian stuttered in surprise, a slight blush across his face due to the opposite of genders.

"We all have the same classes together. Me, you two and Robin."

"Yay together," Robin cheered as they walked. On his shoulders were Ikusa and Van Gogh while Pyrite walked beside him, uncaring about the fact that his trainer was being dragged.

The four arrived at Coordinating which was taught by Sicilia. The room was large like the previous but only contained a small amount of desks and showed signs of being able to transform, thus one could infer that it was meant to become a contest stage at Sicilia's command. She noticeably glared at Jackie and Midori much to the two's confusion, however they figured it best to shrug it off.

"Good morning class. I am Sicilia Ilia," several students snickered at the rhyming name, Sicilia just glared before continuing on her speech. "You are to call me Miss Ilia unless I say otherwise. I do not accept tardiness or horse play. There is more but first I will take attendance and then hand out a syllabus. I expect no complaints during this time." As she had told them, she took attendance. Afterwards she handed out a syllabus and started going over it. She finished just as it was time for the next class, the students rushing from her class, fearful of the teacher.

"The seniors weren't kidding," Jackie muttered to himself remembering what he had been told that morning.

"What's our next class Midori?" Julian asked her as they walked down the hall.

"Umm…" Midori pulled out her schedule reading it. "Breeding right here." She stopped in front of room R1, the group entering it.

"That was odd. I didn't think he knew any of our names yet he addressed Midori by hers," Jackie whispered to Robin as they took seats in the room.

"Mmmmmmmmm, maybe he likes her," the other boy replied looking towards the front. The room was a small classroom that was nice and cozy, perfect for an intimate lesson.

Class soon started, however they lacked one thing: their teacher. Five minutes late the teacher came into the room, the teacher being the red head from the previous day. "Sorry I had some printing troubles," he explained as he started to walk around and hand out syllabi. "My name is Phoenix, just Phoenix and this class is breeding. Those of you in Suicune Blue know me already due to me being the head of Suicune of Blue."

As he walked around the room, Robin caught his features more than the others. He was tall, the tallest Robin had ever seen minus one person he had seen taller. His red hair went a little ways past his waist and seemed like it wasn't brushed as it had different pieces curled up, yet at the same time it seemed to be made of feathers. When he placed a syllabus on Robin's desk the boy noticed that his eyes seemed to be like fire. His voice had a French accent to it, but not strong enough for it to be hard to understand his words.

Like the previous teachers he spent the class going over the syllabus and class soon ended with the group walking towards Battle class. "You know I expected him to be a jerk but he seemed surprisingly cool," Jackie commented.

"Yeah especially with how he talked to Junine and Sicilia during the assembly yesterday," Midori replied.

Julian spoke next in the group, thinking about his dinner with the teacher. "Some kids last night said this about him and Junine, and I quote: Those two are having a lover's quarrel again it seems."

Robin cocked his head to the side confused. "Wouldn't that mean that Junine is an abusive relationship?" The other three looked at him shocked before noticing they had entered the room which was actually a large battlefield. Kuro stood in the center of the field, waiting for the students to enter.

"Welcome to battling. I already know all of you and have already take attendance. I am Kuro Wolf the battle teacher and head of Entei Red, but you can just call me Kuro. I like to get straight into things; however there are a few things. Don't talk while I'm talking. Be respectful to me as I am your teacher. I don't mind joking around, and the reds have seen this well enough. In other words don't piss me off. You won't like me when I'm angry."

"Yes Mr. Hulk," a Suicune blue Lugia student snickered. He had short black hair and a bulky figure.

"Hehehehe," Kuro started laughing, his laugh gave chills to the group of four. "You apparently didn't listen to me did you? Tell me would you rather me physically punish you or your pokémon or should I go with mentally? Your choice Tiron."

"Does physically inflicting pain on my pokémon mean a battle because then I choose that," the boy no known as Tiron walked across from Kuro and released a graveler.

"Fine then, just no crying." Kuro tossed out a dusk ball releasing a sableye. The moment the ghost type appeared, most of the class gasped minus Midori who seemed unfazed, and Robin who narrowed his eyes in suspicion. The sableye was far from normal. Normally they had three gems on their backs, but his had not a single one. Its left ear was split and the ruby on its chest was cracked and broken, making it look like a heart. However the most shocking was its mouth. The sableye's mouth was stitched shut, though at the same time it was loose enough to open its mouth a bit, showing it had no teeth.

Tiron fell down in shock, crawling away from the part dark type, his graveler doing the same. Some kids ran out the door to the nearest bathroom to throw up at the deformed pokémon. Tiron even had a wet spot start forming as the sableye moved towards him.

"That's enough," Kuro stated calmly as he returned his partner. He waited until all students returned before he began speaking again. "You are all young and have no idea of the cruelty of the world. I expect respect so that I can teach you and prepare you for the world. Now then: Julian, Robin how about a battle between you two. I want to see the skills of everyone here but let's start with you two. One on one, not the ones you used for entrance."

The two walked forward grabbing pokéballs from their waists. Julian threw out a luxury ball revealing a magnemite, while Robin released an absol from a moon ball.

"Begin."

"Use thunderbolt Tesla!" Julian threw out his hand forward for the first attack. The magnemite released a wave of electricity from its magnets at the dark type.

"Dodge and use night slash," Robin commanded. The absol dodged with ease and fired a dark wave of energy from its horn. The electric type span out of the way just in time, however it could feel the power from the move. "Guardian use x-scissor." Guardian ran at Tesla and jumped into the air, its horn and tail glowing red as it fired two red slashes, one from its horn the other from its tail. The red slashes crossed into an X that hit the steel type straight on.

"Magnet bomb!" Tesla released several screws from its body and fired them at Guardian at close range. The dark type screamed out in pain as the screws returned to Tesla. "Now thunder wave." Next it released a weaker wave of electricity than it first move. The absol tried to dodge however it was still hit and thus paralyzed. Julian smiled at his success until he watched his magnemite hit the ground suddenly. "What the heck!?"

"I told Guardian a long time ago that whenever starting a battle to always start off with future sight," Robin explained cheerfully. "Future sight then use swords dance." Robin stood calmly as he watched his partner's eyes glow purple for a moment. Next guardian managed to jump into the air with its tail and horn glowing blue as it span in the air and then landed gracefully moving around as though it was dancing, it body being overtaken by the blue and remaining as that. "Now double team and then night slash." Copies of him surrounded the dual type pokémon, and then all of them released a dark aura slash surrounded in blue.

"Gyro ball." Tesla began spinning fast enough to absorb the attack. It then span towards the copies, taking them out one by one until it hit the real one knocking the absol back some.

"Use night slash again," Robin called out, his voice becoming anxious, himself forcing himself to stay in his trainer spot. However his partner could not move do the paralysis.

"Use thunderbolt again." With a final shock from the electric attack the dark type was knocked out and thus unable to battle making Julian the winner, just in time for lunch.

The group sat down with their pokémon eating pokéfood. "How was the first day so far," Kaori came up to the group, alongside him was October who looked confused.

"Did something happen to you guys?" he titled his head to the side in confusion.

"We discovered the terror of Kuro earlier," Jackie said sullenly.

"Who are you?" Robin seemingly unphased asked the older Entei Red.

"Huh? Oh I'm Kaori, ho-oh rank second year Entei red. What about you guys?"

"I'm Robin and Van Gogh is my partner. Julian is red." Julian shot an annoyed look at the other boy however it went unnoticed.

"Midori and Ikusa is my friend."

"Nice to meet you two."

"You too. Hi Junine," Robin waved at the albino, who at that moment walked up to them.

"Hey how was the first day so far?"

"Sounds like someone pissed of Kuro in their class," Kaori explained for her.

"Honestly showing that pokémon the first day. Has he no sympathy. Such a pain."

"Who's a pain?" the group turned their heads to see Kuro standing there, apparently listening to Junine's rant about him.

"You."

"Now now no need to be so cruel," Kuro walked up to Junine taking her left hand in his right, his left hand ending up on her waist, their bodies close together. "Junine," he said her name sweetly, the girl glaring at him. Jackie and Julian's jaws dropped at the sight. Not only was she dating Phoenix but had a relationship with Kuro too? Judging by the fact that Kaori showed no surprise meant it was common for them too.

"No I refuse."

"Come on please. I have some kind of teacher meeting and that means I can't do it. It'll be extra credit in my class plus you can be late to my class as well. I have you for battling right after lunch."

Junine debated this for a moment before sighing. "Fine take Lady. She's least likely to try to kill Phoenix.

"Thank you. It's this one right." The one eyed teacher let go her as he walked away with a friend ball in hand.

Junine placed a black bag down on the table and in her hand was a dusk ball. "Honestly putting this off onto me," she grumbled as she opened the pokéball and released the sableye contained inside of it. The group immediately recognized the pokémon as Kuro's and looked towards Junine confused. She simply opened the bag and started chewing whatever was inside. After chewing for a moment she took the food out from her mouth, and onto her finger as the sableye opened its mouth slightly. From there she placed her finger inside and slid the food off for the ghost/dark type to eat.

"Kuro often asks Junine to feed that guy whenever he's too busy. It needs a special food and special method to eating due to its permanent stitches. However a certain someone likes to slip in other things," as he said the last part, the first years could see Junine slipping in pieces of apple and other food items on her plate.

"Um where is October?" Robin asked noticing the other boy missing.

"He ran to throw up most likely, when Junine released our little friend here.

"Do you two know each other," Midori spoke up this time.

"Kaori and I have been friends since we were children so yes we know each other well."

"How nice. The Dark Prince and the…hmmm I'm not sure yet." The other five plus their pokémon looked at Robin and laughed. Lunch went on cheerfully from there.

After lunch their last two classes flew by as like earlier ones they were just syllabi, as well as repeat teachers. Math was taught by Tanaka and Science by Phoenix. After class the group split up and went back to their dorms for that day, exhausted by the events of earlier, however later that night…

Midori walked into the pokémon center that was the center of the school building. Too restless to stay inside she had gone back outside for some training. As she walked in she saw Julian there getting his pokémon back. She smiled and started walking towards the boy only to stop dead in her tracks. Julian was getting back four pokémon, all of them being placed on his waist where he kept his pokéballs. Why? First years were to have 2-3 pokémon as per the rules of the academy so why did he have four?

He turned around to leave, shock appearing on his face for a moment as he saw her, but then it left. He walked towards the exit his face serious as he stopped by her and spoke, "Don't tell anyone," was all he said as he left. Midori watched him retreat before going back to her business, the matter put back for now.
