Soon Kenan and Tyson made it to the Academy Plaza, here they saw various new students and their Pokemon battling against other new students and their Pokemon.

This academy really had everything.

Soon Kenan and Tyson found a battlefield and took opposite sides while unhooking their Pokeballs from their belts.

"Hey, does a two-on-two battle sound good to you?" Kenan asked his demeanor changed from disinterested to focused as hell. To any other person, the change might have been jarring even for a Pokemon Trainer.

But Tyson was even more pumped, if he was going to become a strong trainer he would need to battle strong trainers like Kenan.

"That sounds good to me, now here is my first Pokemon: Scyther I choose you!" Tyson said throwing out the Bug/Flying type who appeared on the battlefield ready to fight.

Kenan smirked and sent out his first Pokemon "Oden! Come on out!"

Oden appeared from his Pokeball as a Gallade appeared on the battlefield with the Psychic/Fighting type looking ready to go.

He saw Tyson's Scyther across the battlefield and mimic a 'bring it on' gesture as the battle began.

"We will take the first move, Scyther use Fury Cutter." Tyson commanded to his Pokemon.

Soon Scyther moved with amazing speed and raised his claws high before slicing them across Oden's body dealing him effective damage.

Gallade skidded back but ultimately seemed unaffected by the seemingly powerful attack.

"Now it is our turn, Oden use Rock Silde!" Kenan commanded with such confidence it nearly threw Tyler off.

Oden soon raised his blade-like arms and summoned rocks all around the battlefield with several of them hitting Scyther and dealing pretty super effective damage in the process.

"Don't give in Scyther! Now confused Oden with Double Team." Tyson commanded to his partner.

Scyther soon recovered and summon multiple copies of himself in a attempt to confuse Oden into trying to figure out where the real Scyther was.

"Now hit him with Air Slash!"

Soon all the Scythers glow preparing to send the Flying-type move towards the Gallade.

"Oden! Stay calm and all hit all the copies with your Psycho Cut!" Kenan said.

Oden nodded and following his trainer's command he charged up his blades and sent waves after waves dark energy towards all the copies and hit all of them including the real Scyther.

"Finish it with Rock Silde!" Kenan command.

Oden soon summoned the familiar looking rocks and had them collapse onto Scyther, dealing super effective damage and knocking out the Bug/Flying type.

Kenan and Oden celebrated getting the first knockout in the battle while Tyson recalled Scyther and thanked him for his hard work.

While they were battling however, a girl: Robyn, watched them from the sidelines with her Corvisquire perched on her shoulder as she watched the battle with great interest.

Tyson meanwhile soon sent out his second Pokemon: Growlithe.

"Alright Growlithe, use Fire Fang!" he commanded.

The pure Fire-type Pokemon soon engulfed his entire mouth in fire and went to bite Oden's arm, wrapping him in a flames from the attack.

"Try to get the flames off you with Scared Sword." Kenan said as he tried to desperately to help his Pokemon.

Oden's arms glowed a bright blue and he spun and managed to rid himself of the flames but as soon as he did that he saw Growlithe running towards him.

"Alright Growlithe, finish it with Fire Wheel." Tyler said.

Soon Growlithe spun into a flaming wheel and it spun crazily fast and slammed directly into Oden's chest, making sure the Psychic/Fighting type never had a chance to survive the attack as he fell down unconscious.

Kenan was stunned, it had been a while since any opponent had managed to get the better of Oden.

Except for him

However he quickly shook off that thought and recalled Oden thanking him for his hard work before he saw Tyson and Growlithe celebrating by cuddling each other in a cute display of affection.

"Wow your Growlithe is pretty strong." Kenan remarked at his opponents.

"Thanks, Growlithe and I have been together since the beginning, so our bond is the strongest it could be." Tyson said.

Kenan smiled. He understood that feeling all too well, as he brought his next Pokemon.

"I understand that feeling as well, and I think you will find out me and my next Pokemon share that same bond. Now Nami come on out!" Kenan said sending out his second Pokemon.

Nami came as she was revealed to a impressive looking Samurott who turned around and immediately began licking Kenan who laughed.

"Nami we have a battle! I promise we can cuddled later." Kenan said as his Pokemon understood and took her position.

Tyson gritted his teeth, it was obvious he had a type disadvantage but he was planning on using Nami's larger body against. Tyson soon ordered Growlithe to use Flame Wheel.

Growlithe soon rolled into a flaming wheel and headed straight for Nami, Kenan smirked and had Nami use Ice Beam.

Nami soon fired a freezing jet of energy from her mouth, stopping the Flame Wheel in it's track shocking Tyson.

"Now use Aqua Jet!" Kenan commanded.

Nami surrounded herself in a veil of water as she headed straight towards and collided with the dog, dealing super effective to the Fire-type.

"It isn't over until it is over. Fire Wheel once more!" Tyson commanded as Growlithe went straight towards.

"Checkmate." Kenan thought as he had Nami dodge before finishing things off with a Aqua Cutter.

Nami soon brought down a veil of water down on Growlithe, dealing super effective damage and knocking him out.

Nami returned to Kenan while Tyson ran over to check on Growlithe. Growlithe soon got up and licked his trainer indicating he was ok.

"That was a pretty fun battle, I haven't been pushed like that in a while!" Kenan said to his opponent as he offered a respectful hand.

"Yeah thanks! I had fun as well, though next time me and my Pokemon are going to win!"

Kenan and Tyler soon shared a hearty laugh while Robyn walked off with a smile on her face. With the battle seemingly having impressed her as well.


However unknown to all three freshman trainers, they were being watched as two mysterious figures, a boy and a girl watched Kenan and Tyler's battle before speaking.

"So what do you think?" The boy asked towards his companion.

The girl was lost in thought for a long time before she spoke up.

"They have potential… but they still have a long way to go before they reached the likes of us." The girl said as she left leaving her companion to stew in his own thoughts.


Soon the evening came, with everyone heading to their dorms. It took some time, but eventually Kenan found Samurott's Cove and found his dorm room within the building.

As he entered his room, he saw a bed sitting on the far-right cornor of the room with someone: a pretty medium-built guy with his Sneasel on his shoulder.

The medium-built guy looked up and said "Ah hey, you must be my roommate. Didn't known you be such a cutie though."

Kenan was a bit flabbergasted, this was pretty much the first time anyone had ever flirted with him so he just said the first thing that came to his mind.

"Oh sorry, but I don't swing that way." Kenan said hoping it was the right thing to say.

The medium-built guy was pretty surprised as his Sneasal started to snicker at her trainer's rejection.

"Weiss! Well no matter, my name is Rex and it is nice to meet you! Looks like you and I are going to be roommates." Rex said holding out a hand.

Kenan took it and introduced himself to Rex. Despite the awkward flirting attempt, Rex seemed to be a pretty nice guy as he went of the room to allow Kenan to get situated.

Kenan soon unpacked all of his stuff and made his room exactly how he wanted it to be before collapsing on the bed in exhaustion.

It had been a hell of a first day, but in the end he was left with a small sense of excitement at what this academy held in store for him.

Tomorrow would be the first day of classes and he was looking forward to it.
