"58 and 59"
Here it was the most important part of Juliana's first day.
She quickly bounded off her seat and down the hallway where the faculty member led them.
It was odd that she was only with one other student.
Said other student seemed lost in his own world staring at the wall as the faculty member led them into a room.
"Greetings" Director Clavell greeted when they entered the room.
The room was mostly empty except for a small table with three Pokeballs in the center.
"Inside of these three Pokeballs is a starter Pokémon for you to choose as your partner"
In a burst of light, three Pokémon came out.
Sprigatito jumped off the table and began circling her and the other trainer.
Fuecoco plopped down on the table opening its mouth in a big yawn before falling asleep
Quaxly began dancing across the table.
"Can I ask why there's only two of us here?" Julianna asked.
"There was an even number of students this year I assure you whichever one you two don't pick we'll be getting a trainer"
"Florian you're number 58 so you get to go first"
The other student who she now knew was Florian cautiously stepped forward to examine the starters.
"I want Fuecoco," he says quickly but not very confidently.
"Very well" Klavell returned the sleeping croc to the Pokeball and handed it to Florian.
"Julianna you're turn"
Julianna felt like she had a tougher choice than Florian did in picking starters.
Sprigatito and Quaxly both appealed to her. The two of them individually both showed plenty of good qualities.
Sprigatito's curiousness and outgoing personality and Quaxly's performance and flair.
Julianna couldn't decide which one she wanted.
As if sensing her uncertainty Quaxly began to pick up the pace flicking its head feathers back stylishly.
That was the deciding factor for her.
"I want Quaxly"
"Very well" Klavell returned Quaxly to its Pokeball and handed it off to Julianna.
"Both of you take good care of those two"
…
Julianna exited the building and out to the main courtyard.
Most of the other new students were there letting their new starters roam around.
She decided to do the same for Quaxly.
Quaxly quickly began investigating the world around him.
He quickly began dancing again but this time flicking a small stone between his feet.
"Well isn't that the strangest thing" Julianna smiled, Quaxly continued dribbling the pebble.
It reminded Julianna of football players which gave her an idea.
She had never thought about nicknaming her Pokémon but actually having one and seeing his personality gave her the idea.
She began thinking of any football players that would work with him.
"Hm no to meat head to generic I got it! Jair"
"How does that sound for a name Jair do you like it?"
"Qu-qa-qax!" Quaxly flicked the pebble aside and posed again.
He pointed his wing at himself implying he accepted the name.
"Alright then Jair it is"
"That's quite the Quaxly you got there" one of the other students points out.
"Oh yes he's quite the dancer I've noticed"
The extra attention invigorates Jair more and he picks up his routine.
More students flock to them and Jair is loving it dancing and kicking up a storm.
Julianna felt a bit overwhelmed by the amount of attention she was getting. But Quaxly was loving it so she just grinned and let him take all the attention.
This would all die down soon enough.
…
As it turned out it did not die down soon enough.
Some of the students had filmed Jair's dancing skills and he was getting a large amount of attention online.
"Well isn't that great Jair you and me are famous now"
"Quax-quax!" Quaxly danced a star shape appearing in his eyes.
"Well at least one of us is enjoying it" Julianna sighed wondering how she got a starter that was so self-absorbed.
It could be worse she supposed.
Quaxly seemed to be interested in battles and Julianna could definitely work with that.
Despite it being early in the morning Quaxly was already dripping the pebble between his feet.
"Well if you want to be like that how about we start training?"
"Quax! Quax!" Jair replied happily.
"Alright then let's get going"
"Julianna is that you!" as soon as Julianna was outside she was rushed by a streak of black and green.
"Nemona is that you?"
"Yes" she squealed and pulled her in for a hug "I always knew you were going to make it to Naranja, you always had the brains for it"
"Thank you"
"Oh and is this the Quaxly all the first years have been going crazy about?"
"Quax!" Quaxly stroked his hair in pride.
"Don't do that the last thing he needs is more attention"
"Do you need any help? I can show you around, I can help with battle training I love battle training" Julianna was taken aback. She hadn't seen Nemona in a while and had forgotten how
"Oh no I was just going to let Jair get his feet under him before I let him battle anyone"
"Alright then," Pneumonia said somewhat deflated "Well how about I give you my number so if you ever need anything you know where to get a hold of me"
"Sure that sounds like a great idea"
After exchanging numbers Nemona was on her way looking for someone to battle.
Well, so far Julianna would say her start to her time at Naranja Academy had gone pretty well.
She had Jair who well a bit vein showed a lot of promise and got the number of the head of the student council, she had even become internet famous.
Overall it was definitely an eventful start.
