I was born in Sinnoh, but now I'm moving to Hoenn to go to school. Sure, it wasn't the best thing ever, I'll have to leave all my friends and live in a new environment that may might have people who will dislike me because of where I'm from, but that doesn't matter! What does matter, is that I will be going there with my best bud, Riolu! I was currently on a boat heading to Lillycove City, In Hoenn, so it will take atleast a week before I'm there. The weird part about this, was that after I get there, I would have to stay for a few days, just to get on another boat that will be taking me to this school! Seriously, that is just a waste of time! Instead of going to this city to get on another boat, they could've just sent a boat to bring me to the school from Sinnoh! But whatever. It doesn't matter, as I already said earlier. As long as Riolu was with me, it was alright.
Riolu was balancing in his usual pose, with one leg at the side and his hands joined together. His eyes were closed and his blue scarf moved with the bouncing of the boat. Currently, he was balancing on one of the chairs in our room. Just watching him do this was pretty fun, but I have other things to do. I took out the Ever Grande Pokemon Highschool resume from a folder and placed it infront of me, taking out a pen at the same time. At where it said 'name' I stabbed in my name.
Name: Ohata Shiruma
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 5"8'
Classes: Battling, Coordinating, Breeding
Pokémon: Riolu
Nickname: N/A
Species: The Emanation Pokemon
Gender: Male
Ability: Inner Focus
Nature: Rash
After I finished filling out the resume, I stuffed it back into my folder and then placed the folder into my backpack, zipping it up slowly. I turned back to Riolu, who was now doing a handstand, balancing one of my pencils in his hand. 'He was pretty quick, wasn't he?' I thought to myself, looking at my pencil case, that was open when it should've been closed. I shook my head, with a smile on my face. I was looking forward to school life at this new school. Who knows how many rivals I'll be making? 'But of course, I'll be number one.' I thought proudly to myself.
I was reading the small, thick pokemon handbook the school provided every trainer who was sent a resume. Of course, most of the trainers probably never read it, but it was very interesting. In it, was some very useful tips for inexperienced trainers, and complicated tips for experienced trainers. Both of which, I read several times over, writing them done on a sheet of paper and filing away the information for when I make it through this school. On one of the first pages, it talked about the Top Ten Students in the school. Basically, first year students will be pitted against each other half way into the year, to find out who the top ten are out of them. Of course, not all of them will compete, only a select few.
After the competition is over, the top ten students will be in in charge; they'll be like the student council in most other schools. Only there would be ten of them. They would set an example for all the other students, and, well, as stated from the creator of the school, "The ten best trainers will be respected. And so, like in my day, they will probably become rich, one way or another." I don't know what he was trying to say, but basically, if I become one of the strongest, then I can be rich? It made no sense, but it didn't have to! Money was money and money can get you a lot of knowledge!
I grabbed the resume that I hadn't filled out yet and took out a pencil, and slowly filled it out.
Name: William Wood
Gender: Male
Age:15
Height:5'7
Classes: Battling, Coordinator, Archaeology
Pokemon: Dratini
Nickname: Dray
Species: The Dragon Pokemon
Gender: male
Ability: marvel scale
Nature: adamant
After I finished with the Resume, I looked at the back of the handbook, on the last page, to see if there was anything interesting there. And truth be told, there was.
'The Top Ten Students: 1st Generation!
10th: Giovanni
9th: Samuel Oak
8th: Cyrus
7th: Lance
6th: Diantha
5th: Alder
4th: Ghetsis
3rd: Cynthia
2nd: Steven Stones
1st: Shoma Honami
Results were made from all of their classes and their skills as well as their behavior. The deciding positionas were decided in battle.'
Wait... Shoma Honami? Didn't he win the last World Tournament? And this 'top ten'... They're mostly made up of Pokemon League Champions! Current and past! Okay, that decides it! "Dray!" I called to my Dratini. Out from the corner of my eye, I saw a snake-like pokemon slither up onto my desk and stared at me expectantly. "We're going to be one of the top ten in this school! No matter what!" Dray bobbed his head up and down, agreeing with me. As the boat I was one headed towards Lillycove, my only thought was of topping the school.
I looked down at the kid infront of me, who, was only a year younger than me at 15. He had called me out, saying that I was just a little kid, so I should show some respect. After learning that he was going to the same school I was, I challenged him to a battle. After wrecking part of the boat we were on, defeating his weak Mankey with my Spade, my male Nidoran, I looked down on him, leaving my eyes half open to scare the poor kid. My elitest attitude makes people keep their distance, but sometimes, they'd walk up to me, acting all high and mighty, and demand respect, acting as if I was a kid, because of my height! I wasn't that short for my age!
I walked back to my room with Spade sitting on my shoulder, rubbing his head along the way. After I entered my room and kicked shut the door, threw my bags onto my bed and sat down on a chair and took out the resume for this school. "Ever Grande Pokemon Highschool." I read at the top of the page. It had came with a Pokemon Handbook, but I threw it away. Who needed it anyway? I took out a red pen and spun it around my hand a few times before bending forward and writing out my information.
Name: Nobu Ogawa
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Height: 5' 4''
Classes: Battling, Research, Photography
Pokemon: Nidoran (M)
Nickname: Spade
Species: The Poison Pin Pokemon
Gender: Male
Ability: Hustle
Nature: Rash
After I finished writing, I put down my pencil and looked at Spade, who was scratching his head with his hands. I smiled for the first time in a few days and placed my hand onto my shoulder. After I had left home, I had to get a tattoo of my name in Kanji, so I was still pretty unused to it; it even still burned. I sighed as I placed my hands into my pockets and closed my eyes. It was going to be a long trip to Lillycove, but I could wait.

Time is running out! The first term will be starting soon, but first, I'd like to say that for those of you who are still unsure in registering for our fair school, I'd like to make an annoucement!
Many of our students, who have graduated, went on to becoming champions, gym leaders, part of the elite four, world champions, and even tried to take over the world! These powerful boys and girls, blossomed into powerful men and women alike, and became part of the elites of the pokemon world. This can be you! Of course, we'd recommend not trying to take over the world, because a recently graduated boy or girl student will stop you, don't ask why, but it always happens! But I digress. We are here to help nurture you. You might complain about this school not being up to standards with others, however, how many schools can you say sent out champions to the world? None? Excellent! You have to resume, but just in case, we here at Ever Grande Pokemon Highschool will send each applicant another copy, just in case they lost theirs, had them stolen, or threw them away! We're always accepting new students, from any region, and we will gladly pay to send you here! With an assortment of delicious free food, that other schools can't provide for(thought it might be free, it won't be good), we will make sure your three years at this school is well worth it!
Here is a second copy of the resume, for budget purposes, who will not be sending another copy, so please understand that if you lose another copy, you won't be allowed to start this term!

(Special note: Sorry if I messed up your character! I tried my best under the circumstances! If you're upset about anything in these first few chapters, or even later on, please PM me and I will try to fix it in further chapters! If you didn't notice, this chapter I just introduced some of the characters I received, to try to help those of you who weren't sure if you wanted to send in a resume with your trainer. Or something. Either way, I have decided to accept up to THREE small legendary pokemon, so if you want, say, a Jirachi, then hurry up and send your character, but also please list a backup pokemon. The first chapter went up yesterday, and I already have already received SEVEN trainers for my story so far. Anyway, the first REAL chapter will come out either on Friday, or Monday next week. Before then, I will probably introduce you to some of the characters I received, and expand on the school, telling you more things about it. But anyway, this has been Kuromaster, and now I'm going to edit this and post this chapter on Fanfiction. Goodbye for now!)
