Chapter 6

Christmas >

Anyway what's your favorite non-main stream Pokémon games.

Mines the Pokepark series.

You and Nemona finally reach the top of the stairs, Nemona starts to grab your hand and drag you into the academy. You sigh as you let her drag you with her monster strength.

"Here we are, Y/n! Welcome to Naranja Academy!" Nemona says excitedly as she begins to explain everything about the academy and what you can do.

However you're saved from suffering when Director Clavell interrupts. "Master Y/n. Miss Nemona." He then turns to you, "How did you find your first school commute?"

You think off what to say before you reply saying, "We had a blast." In truth you really didn't but it was alright.

"I imagine Miss Nemona's high spirits helped with that. She's a true asset to our fine academy." Clavell responded before facing Nemona who was rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment, "Not that I was expecting any less from our Champion-ranked student council president. You're reliable as ever, Miss Nemona.

"Well, I know how to look after my friends! Right, Y/n?" Nemona turned towards you and asked.

"Yeah, she does."

"Oh! But speaking of which... we saw some of those Team Star kids in town, Director!" Nemona remembered.

"You did?! Where?!" The director looked extremely shocked, it was weird, especially since he seemed so composed.

"It was down the stairs from the front gates. They were hassling this kid with a. Eevee backpack..." Nemona says facing down.

"That is quite the news Are they still to be found out there?" The director asked.

"Actually, Y/n flexed on 'em and ran 'em off." Nemona admits as both of them look at you.

"You don't say..." The director says looking at you mouth agape.

"It's a fine thing to help another student, Master Y/n..." The director starts, "But you might wish to show a bit of restraint as you find your feet here at our academy."

The director then turns to Nemona and scolds here while you just think on what he said. Nemona finishes getting scolded as the Director thinks on something.

"A child with an Eevee backpack, you say... I suppose that might've been Miss Penny." The Directors says.

The Director then tells Nemona to talk about the Team Star situation to her homeroom teacher. Then he waves you off with the excuse classes are starting soon.

Nemona grabs your hand saying she'll show you the way as she practically drags you to homeroom.

Timeskip brought to you by me writing on vacation while my nieces annoy me.

In a classroom, a bunch of students can be seen sitting down with a teacher standing up front.

"Good morning, Mr Jacq!" The students chorused out.

The teacher said hello to everyone before getting on a more important subject.

"We have some exciting news this morning. Who wants to hear it?" Mr. Jacq asked the students as pretty much all of them said they want to.

"I suppose I should have told you some, but we have a new little friend joining our happy homeroom as of today." He says as a chorus of whispers went around the class.

Mr. Jacq then called for the student to come in. The door opens as Y/n stands next to the teachers desk.

"Could I trouble you for a few words introducing yourself?" Jacq asks you.

"Sure. I'm Y/n." You say extremely bored. You hear some kids talking about how nice and friendly you sound but you could care less.

"Looks like everyone's eager to get to know you, Y/n." Mr Jacq says but this time facing the class with you. He then addresses the class. "Alright then, who wants to be the first one to ask our new friend a question."

A lot of "I do," "Me!" and other words went around but Mr Jacq called on some boy to the right.

"What's your favorite thing about Pokémon?" The big asked Y/n.

"I would say everything. From battling, playing and collecting. I like everything about Pokémon." You reply still uninterested.

Nemona stands up when Jacq asks if anyone else has a question. "You went to all the trouble of enrolling here, so spill, Y/n..." She says before looking you dead in the eyes.

"What do you hope to get out of it? You must have some kind of dream, right?"

"I want to be the strongest trainer." You say before looking her dead in hee auburn eyes. "In the world and history."

"You will be!" Nemona smiled saying how you and her will be the strongest battling together.

Mr. Jacq turns to you before thanking you on introducing yourself. He then points out a seat you can take behind Nemona in the second row.

Class lasted around 40 minutes before the bell rung as some kids ran out while other stayed and talked with their peers.

You got out of you seat and decided to explore for a little bit. You ask the girl sitting next to Nemona where the mentioned girl is at, which she responds that she got called up to the staff room. So that's where you're first headed.

Navigating the hall was extremely boring, but eventually you got to the room where you can see Nemona and nicely dressed woman talking.

You overhead something about champion but that was it.

As you walk over to Nemona, you and the finely dressed woman brush shoulder.

"Oh.. Pardon me." She says before leaving, you the. walk over to Nemona.

"Oh, Y/n! Hey!" She greets.

"Hey. Who was that?" You ask you could tell that she was stronger than the average trainer, but to you she felt... weak.

"Piqued your interest, huh? That lady is... Well, they call her La Primera!" She answers back. You frown a little, that's more of a title than a name.

Nemona starts to rant on how cool, and strong she is and how she wished to be like her.

Then she remembers something. "Oh! That reminds me. Remember in homeroom when I asked what your dream is?" She says.

"Yeah...?" You respond, not sure on where this is going.

"We'll since your hearts set on becoming a strong trainer... I've got an idea for you!" She says as you start to understand. She probably wants you to take on a gym challenge or something.

"You should try to reach Champion Rank like me!" She says as you nod, if it's anything like Galar then to reach Champion Rank, one probably has to take on a gym challenge.

She begins to explain the Champion Rank to you. How a Champion raises their Pokémon to be strong. How they're pro-tier battlers that keeps crowds on edge. How you must prove yourself to the Pokémon League to get the title. Then she explains to prove yourself to the Pokémon League you have to take on 8 gyms.

Then she goes on to explain what a treasure hunt is and how it's close to coming.

"Anyway, I've got a feeling I'd be able to get even stronger if you and I were both working at it...." She says.

"Here, lemme save the Gyms locations on you map. Incase you go for it." She says as she send the Gym location through her Rotom Phone.

"Give it some though!" She shouts as she leaves leaving you alone in the staff room. You sigh and walk out and decide to head to the cafeteria.

You navigate the halls once more and arrive at the cafeteria. It isn't as big as you though it would be but you're quite hungry so it doesn't matter.

You walk up to grab some food when you notice Arven, so you start a conversation.

"Oh, hey. So we meet again!" He says.

"You do remember me, right?" He asks.

"Yeah. It's quite hard to forget someone who was switching the subject on some questions about a rare Pokémon." You say as he shakes his head a little bit.

He sighs before saying, "Well you got a mind like a steel trap, that's for sure." He crosses his arms, "No need to tell me your name. Y/n, right?"

"Yeah."

"The whole school seems to be talking about you." He says. You're kind of shocked, you didn't expect a transfer to be so talked about.

"The new kid showing up with the president of the student council, more specifically holding hands." He says as you start to turn red.

You didn't think anyone saw you and Nemona hold hands. Arven starts to chuckle at your embarrassment before calming down and grabbing a food item as you followed him.

"Normally, I wouldn't bother showing up to class, but I came all the way to school today just to talk with you." He said which surprised you.

"You've gotta help me out so I can make my dream a reality." You raised your eyebrow to this. He never said please. Your lips formed a smirk as you got an idea to get payback for ignoring Nemona's question.

"Sure I will, but first tell me your dream."

"Caught your interest, have I?"

"Obviously, I'm not going to help if it's something stupid like swimming to Kalos."

Arven chuckled at this. "Don't worry, all it is helping me get some of these Herba Mysticas." He shows you the book and the drawings of them.

"Basically, they're some kind of special herbs that heal up any Pokémon as soon as they eat them. There are a total of five different types, at least from what I read." He says. Now you feel bad about getting payback so you throw that out and help with freely with no ulterior motives.

He continues on about the herbs as you space off until he starts to talk about what they're guarded by.

"The book says they're all guarded by Titan Pokemon, it's probably going to be tough to get a few sprigs." He shows you a entry from the book on Monsters of Area Zero.

"I wish to get the herbs for myself.... but, I'm not very good a Pokémon battles." Arven admits, you sympathize with him. You used to be utter shit a Pokémon battles too until the encounter with It in the forest.

Arven continues on why he can't do it himself and how he doesn't want to ask Nemona for help because he'll never hear the end of it. So he turns around and asks you.

You say you'll help him with it but he cuts you off saying he doesn't need an answer just yet, because he's going to register the places the Titan Pokémon seem to be.

Arven's Rotom Phone comes out and sends you the information on where the Titans are at as he runs off, but not before handing you a bag of stardust for listening to him.

You start to head out of the lunch room when your Rotom Phone rings. You answer it as a voice comes from the other end.

"...This is Y/n, correct?"

"Yeah... who are you?" You respond back to the mysterious but feminine sounding voice.

"My names Cassiopeia." She responds. "But never mind that, it's you I want to talk about. I'd like to ask something of you."

"Sure what is it?"

"Tell me, you do know about Team Star, right?"

"Yeah, I do."

"Great, I appreciate you being upfront with me." Cassiopeia says before getting into the history of Team Star and how they formed, what they do, and what she wants to do.

"I need allies to carry out Operation Starfall, and I'd like you to be one of them." Cassiopeia asks.

"Sure."

"There's no need to reply right this second. We can discuss the details another time." Cassiopeia says before hanging up. Clavell walks into the cafeteria and notices you.

"Ah, Master Y/n." Clavell greets. "Please do try to keep your voice down if you're making calls in the school, won't you?"

"Of course sir."

"You don't want anyone to hear personal information, after all." You narrow your eyes at him before he sends you off.

The announcement bell rings, calling you to the directors office. You head over there, walking in on Clavell sitting, waiting for you.

"Thank you for coming, Master Y/n." Clavell greets before telling you to take a seat. "Have you been enjoying yourself here at Naranja Academy?"

"Yeah, it's been quite fun."

"That is most wonderful to hear."

Clavell then stands up near the TV on his right, and your left. You observe the room to see if there are anyone hiding from you but there isn't so you turn back to Clavell confused.

"Ah, the person that wants to meet you is actually not in the room with us. One moment, Just allow me to connect to us."

Cliff Hanger I know but i really don't feel like writing anymore.

Anyway have a happy holidays.
