Story

Welcome to Snowpoint Academy, a prestigious Pokémon training school. The Academy has five towers, one at each point of the compass and one in the middle. North tower has the Goldenrod House rooms. The East tower plays host to Dewford House. The South tower is the home of Mistralton House. The West tower is where the Pewter House residents live and learn. Each student was given a badge with their house colours on it. You’re led into a large assembly hall and stand in ranks with all of your classmates. You look up to the stage in front of you as a man, well known as a champion battler and coordinator of all the nearby regions, walks onto the stage. He begins to speak, a Feraligatr, Donphan and Miltank standing behind him.
“Welcome to the Snowpoint Academy. My name is Casi Delasy and I am your Headmaster. Here you will be taught about battling techniques for both league and contest battle styles, how to care for your Pokémon and how to raise them in an efficient manner. We wish to prepare you for a world of challenges where you and your Pokémon are able to overcome any obstacles. It is a pleasure to have you learning within these hallowed halls. Your badges are very important. If you lose them, you will not be able to return to your rooms. Ghost Pokémon protect the towers from intruders and only recognise teachers and the badges you wear. Please, explore the school and make sure you know where your houses are. And don’t lose your badges. You may leave,” finished Casi, addressing the first years. The Pokémon each spoke their names, backing up their trainer and friend.

Teacher Perspective:
Francis Mortimer stood off to the side of the stage. He shivered nervously as the introduction went on. Zippo hid behind him, which was odd being that she didn't usually have trouble with stage fright. Either way, he ruffled the hair on top of her hair as he toyed with the key to his office which lay in his pocket. I just hope that it won't be like when I helped Gardenia teach new trainers...

Student Perspective
Steven greeted his cacnea. There were other students around him doing the same. As he looked up to the stage he eagerly awaited for more to be spoken.

[Druach]

Marcel stood in a group of other students, listening to Headmaster Delasy's speech. He was tired from arriving on the ferry from Hoenn today in Canalave city. He had gone to Snowpoint with his dad, as he owned the ship he arrived on. He got to battle some with Aron on the way. Sinnoh pokemon were much different than Hoenn pokemon,and he would have caught some, but he neglected to bring Pokeballs. He had arrived at Snowpoint shivering and cold, but his dad had thankfully bought him a coat. As he listened to the Headmaster's speech, he thought, I wonder what house I will be in? What are the people here like? He knew that trainers came from regions all over the world, so he probably wouldn't be the only Hoenn trainer. When Casi finished, Aron, who was on the floor, shouted along with the other pokemon. He looked around, nervously, at the other pokemon. He saw a ladyba, an eevee, and and a bagon, among others. He wondered what house he was in.

[Lost heros]

Adam had listened to the headmaster's speech very eagerly. His Bagon, however, couldn't care less about what was being said. Actually his Bagon was busy destroying Adam's shoes ever since they got to Snowpoint. Bagon had very little respect for its trainer and the school, probably because he thinks he is too strong.

After the speech was over, Adam took out the badge and the map he was given.
The badge matched the color of the Dewford house.
"I guess we are in the Dewford house," Adam said to the Bagon.
"Bay!" Bagon replied rudely.
"Still have absolutely no respect for me as a trainer, huh," Adam said disappointed.
Bagon nodded its head and the turned away from Adam.
"Well we are still in this together. Come one let's go to the Dewford house."

Adam walked east and Bagon reluctantly followed.
There was only one trail To the Dewford house, and Adam looked for anyone else on that path.

[New Emperica]

Mishka stood in the back of a group of students, one hand behind his back and the other scratching his Absol, Hades. Right behind the scythe-like appendage that protruded from his head - the white pokemon loved to be scratched there. They Headmaster of the academy stood on a stage, making a speech welcoming them all. Mishka listened, a sleepy look in his eyes. It was good to be back in Snowpoint City. He'd missed the cold, though Hades had certainly reacted a bit negatively to it when they had stepped off of the boat.

The speech was soon over, and Mishka looked at the badge and school map he had been given.
"Dewford...?" he asked Hades.
"Sol." the Absol said, looking up at it's trainer.
"I guess we are in the Dewford house." Mishka overheard a boy say.
He looked over to the boy, who seemed to be having some trouble with his pokemon, which appeared to be a Bagon, and his shoes were all but ruined.
Mishka walked over to the boy cautiously, Hades following.
"H-hello." Mishka stammered, looking at his feet. "My name...my name's Mishka Sapfir, and this is my Absol, Hades. It'd appear that we're in the same House."

Adam turned around to the person talking.
"Oh hello," Adam said, "'My name is Adam Burris and this is my Bagon. He doesn't have a nickname."
Adam looked down to Bagon, "Is that the problem? Do you want a nickname?"
The Bagon looked astonished and bit Adam's leg.
Adam made a face that expressed pain, "I'll take that as a no."

After the pain quickly faded away, Adam looked at Mishka.
"So Mishka, where are you from?"

[Lambrinisia]

After the assembly finished, Casi headed over to Goldenrod House. As its house master, he had to make sure everybody settled in smoothly. "Come on guys," he said, addressing the pokémon standing behind him. They all nodded and followed. As he walked, he smiled to himself, missing the days when he could walk with all his friends by his side, surrounded by the fresh air. He entered the house and headed to the common room where the students were starting to gather.

"Oh hello," Adam said, "'My name is Adam Burris and this is my Bagon. He doesn't have a nickname."
Adam looked down to Bagon, "Is that the problem? Do you want a nickname?"

Adam made a face that expressed pain, "I'll take that as a no."

After the pain quickly faded away, Adam looked at Mishka.
"So Mishka, where are you from?"

"It's a pleasure to meet you Adam." Mishka said quietly, and smiling a bit as Bagon bit his trainer. It was true - pain, when not life threatening, was funny.
When asked where he was from, Mishka thought for a moment. Was he from Lavaridge or Snowpoint?
"Well," he began, "I used to live right here in Snowpoint, but a few years ago, my family moved to Lavaridge Town in Hoenn."
Hades walked forward and began sniffing Bagon, then sat down and looked the smaller pokemon over, as if judging if it were a threat or a friend.
"So, what about you, Adam. Where are you from?"

[Mondrova]

Blake was standing lazily in the great hall as the Headmaster gave her speech. He imagined it must be prepared, he probably says it every year. He yawned slightly as he stood. The trip from Unova to the academy had been a long one indeed. He had spent hours on a plane, comfortable enough in first class, but bored silly. His family were well off, not rich by any standard, but affluent enough to be in the better off area of Celesita. He appreciated that all the more in this place, shifting uncomfortably in the cold, hugging himself and pressing his warm, fuzzy jacket closer to him. As the speech went on he looked down at his Deino.

He certainly wasn't used to the cold either, he gently scratched his head. "Don't worry Deino, I'm sure the speech will be over soon, then we'll get you warmed." He ended with a gentle smile and his Deino moved closer to him, both affectionately and for warmth. As the speech drew to a close he looked at his badge to see which house he was in. "Hmm... Dewford, wonder what it's like. Hopefully warm... and hopefully filled with nice people." He added as an after thought. As he prepared to depart he heard to people having a conversation, and the words Dewford come up. Ahh, he thought, their in my house. I should go say hi.

"Come on Deino." He approached the pair and was only a bit hesitant, after all growing up with hundreds of people around you all the time didn't make it easy to be shy. "Hey, I thought I heard two say Dewford. I'm in that house, are you as well? Oh, and my names Blake."

[Lost heros]

Adam turned around to the person talking.
"Oh hello," Adam said, "'My name is Adam Burris and this is my Bagon. He doesn't have a nickname."
Adam looked down to Bagon, "Is that the problem? Do you want a nickname?"
The Bagon looked astonished and bit Adam's leg.
Adam made a face that expressed pain, "I'll take that as a no."

After the pain quickly faded away, Adam looked at Mishka.
"So Mishka, where are you from?"

"It's a pleasure to meet you Adam." Mishka said quietly, and smiling a bit as Adam's Bagon bit him.
When asked where he was from, Mishka thought for a moment. Was he from Lavaridge or Snowpoint?
"Well," he began, "I used to live right here in Snowpoint, but a few years ago, my family moved to Lavaridge Town in Hoenn."
Hades walked forward and began sniffing Bagon, then sat down and looked the smaller pokemon over, as if judging if it were a threat or a friend.
"So, what about you, Adam. Where are you from?"

"I am from Sootopolis, Hoenn. When I left to come to this Academy, it was the first time I ever left the mountain," Adam said.
Bagon growled at Hades and used leer on it.
"Bagon!" Adam scolded once he heard the growl.
Bagon looked at Adam angrily, and Adam sighed.
"I am sorry about him. I got him not too long ago, and he doesn't exactly like me."

[New Emperica]

Mishka smiled. His first friend here.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Adam."
"I am sorry about him. I got him not too long ago, and he doesn't exactly like me."
The boy crouched down and gazed at Bagon for a moment, as if simply looking at the pokemon would reveal all of it's problems for Mishka to solve. He sighed, still crouching, then looked up at Adam.
"It's okay. Some pokemon are just hard to befriend. He'll warm up to you eventually.
"Hey, I thought I heard two say Dewford. I'm in that house, are you as well? Oh, and my names Blake." a boy said, catching Mishka by surprise.
The blonde yelped and quickly combat-rolled behind Adam, jumping up to his feet in the process and hiding behind him. Absol simply remained seated and regarded the new boy with an inquisitive glare.
"H-hello." Mishka stammered. "Y-yes, we're in Dewford as well."
He thought for a moment how strange what he just did must have seemed to the other two boys.
"I'm sorry...you just frightened me is all." he explained, still hiding behind Adam.

Both Blake and Deino looked with looked at the boy who had just rolled away and hid behind another. After she explained she was frightened he looked at his Deino and got a small smile, then laughed a bit at the thought. His laugh was short but after he stopped he quickly realized how it might look. "Oh, sorry, I wasn't laughing at you. No, it's just, well... I've never scared someone before, little Deino here is always been looked at as the scary one." He then got the odd feeling he was being glared at. He looked down and saw his Deino. You can't ever see a Deino's eyes, but Blake imagined he was the one doing the glaring.

He suddenly realized what was wrong. "Oops, sorry, I didn't mean little, I meant big of course." He gave an apologetic look to Deino. He looked back and then curtly nodded as if he acknowledging not an apology but an acceptance of facts. "Well, anyway", he spoke to the pair with a smile, "if were in that same house, we should get to know each other. Sounds like you two were already. I heard you say you were from Sootopolis and your actually from here. That's cool. I'm from Celestia City in Unova. My full name is Blake Cassum."

Mishka quickly came out from behind Adam and stood next to Hades so that the trio was standing in a triangle formation.
"I'm Mishka. Mishka Sapfir" he said to Blake. "And this is my Absol, Hades."
Hades stepped forward, eyeing Deino as suspiciously as it had Bagon. Evidently, the Absol decided that it like Deino.
"Sol absol sol." it said, apparently joyous at finding a pokemon it actually seemed to like.

[Mondrova]

"Mishka eh", he gave an interested look, "I've never heard a name like that before. Hmm... I like it!" He said somewhat loudly, as if Mishka had been waiting for his opinion. "I like you absol too, he's my kinda pokemon. People misunderstand them, think they are all about chaos and disasters, just like how people think my Deino is evil or something. Ah, but we know better don't we?" He then looked down and down and saw Hades examine his Deino, then give a little cry of joy it seemed. He looked happily at Mishka, "well looks like Hades likes my Deino, just be careful for now. Deino is blind and is always cautious of his surroundings. All Deino's love to bite, even mine, and they can bite all day long, trust me. He'll need to get used to Hades before he can get too close."

He then thought for a moment, his face contorting to look of concentration. "You know, maybe Deino would like a nickname. Maybe... hmm, I don't know. Would you even want a nickname Deino?" Deino simply stood there, he assumed Deino was mulling it over or something, he was always thinking. Well that or he ignored him, probably both. "I mean Hades. It has a certain ring to, but a bit odd if you don't mind me saying. Can I ask why you chose it?"

[Druach]

As everyone seemed to be moving along, Marcel was frantically searching for his badge. "Where is it, Aron?" he said Aron! Aron responded. He opened his mouth, revealing his badge. "You tried to eat this didn't you? Gosh, Aron!" he snapped. On. Aron responded, seeming hurt. "Aww it's okay." he said. "I didn't mean it like that." He took his badge out of Aron's mouth. It was a Pewter House badge. He wondered who the other is that house were. He was interrupted by Aron whining to go play with a Bagon that was with an Absol and a Deino "Go have your fun. But don't come drying to me when that absol hurts you." he said, and Aron ran off.

[Natula]

Kaaera felt very nervous after the speach.Her Eevee looked up at her with a worried face."Its ok Eevee, I'm fine" she smiled a half smile.
Kaaera was around pokemon all her life and had grown to be quite a decent trainer with her Eevee, but she wanted to learn more before earning any bages and defeating the elite 4 like her mom did. She also secretly wished to be a top coodinator.
"E-eevee?" Eevee said with a worried tone.
"Really, Eevee I'm fine...I'd just like to get to know some friends and perhaps do a battle to help calm me down"
"Eevee!" Her pokemon agreed.

[New Emperica]

OOC: I'm assuming that people have heard of the Greek gods in the pokemon world since Brock (in the anime at least) seems to know about Noah and the Great Flood.

---

Mishka smiled as Blake spoke, glad that the two hadn't gotten off on the wrong foot. When Hades seemed to hit it off with Deino, he internally sighed in relief. One less thing for him to worry about.
"I mean Hades. It has a certain ring to, but a bit odd if you don't mind me saying. Can I ask why you chose it?"
Mishka was caught off guard by this question. Looking down at Hades, he asked the pokemon, "Why did I name you Hades?"
Mishka raised his hand to his chin and thought for a moment. "It was so long ago, I don't really remember. Though I do remember the Hades, Greek god of the underworld had something to do with it. I suppose at the time, my family really didn't know all that much about Absol, since they're generally native to Hoenn. Hades - the god that is - is often connected darkness, chaos, that sort of thing. Sometimes I like to think that he isn't that different from an Absol - misunderstood, you know?"
Mishka realized he had been rambling and quickly cleared his throat, still looking down at Hades.
"I guess the name sort of stick, even after we realized how sweet Absol really are."

Away from the group, Mishka picked up on something.
"Go have your fun. But don't come drying to me when that Absol hurts you." a guy said.
Mishka quickly looked at the person in question, Hades doing the same - whether he was just mimicking his trainer or was curious about the word 'Absol' being spoken was unkown. A small silver pokemon that Mishka was pretty sure was an 'Aron' came trotting over to them. Mishka was ticked though.
"Excuse me?!" he said loudly, walking up to the boy. "What was that about Hades hurting people? Why didn't you say anything about that Deino? It's probably more dangerous than my Hades! Where do you get off calling my Absol dangerous? I mean really-"
"ABSOL SOL AB!"
Hades jumped at his trainer, tackling the blonde to the ground and hooking the collar of his hoody with his head-scythe-appendage. Thing. Mishka continued being furious with the boy as Hades dragged him away, towards the East Tower - Dewford House.

[Mondrova]

Blake heard the answer, about Hades. He knew of him of course, but he just could understand why you'd name a pokemon after him. Still as he listened to the story he somewhat understood. He too had had false idea's about Deino after all, and absol had about the same reputation. He couldn't blame him. Then, upon hearing a comment, Mishka immediately went on a rampage. Then she even said Deino was dangerous. The very idea!

"Hey", Blake called angrily, "what was that about my Deino?!" In his mind he knew it was true but still, he had said it! "My Deino isn't dangerous..." Sudden;y he remembered he had something more concerning to deal with at the moment. You see Deino isn't the type to just take insults, he does something about them, even if they only make the insult look true. Blake immediately jumped for Deino screaming, "NOOOOO!" He landed on Deino just as he was about to bolt at Mishka. He latched onto Deino and held as he squirmed trying to get away. He then, rather stupidly, continued to talk about how safe his Deino could be.

"Like I was saying, ouch, NO STOP IT... he isn't dangerous, I mean he is a little piranha for sure, but..." Deino took this opportunity to take a bit out of Blake. After so many years of it, he was used to it, but that didn't mean it was pleasant. He rolled and wriggled around trying to keep Deino still or at least from attacking someone. "But", he continued, "he wouldn't hurt anyone, well... I mean not really, just for fun, I mean umm...." As he hesitated, thinking of what he was about to say Deino became furious. He immediately directed his anger at Blake. He could never hurt Blake, well badly, but in Deino's world, everything needed a good bite now and then, especially when they were talking about him. "OWW, DEINO, STOP IT, YOUR BEING BAD!! OWW, YOU REALLY DON'T HELP YOURSELF YOU KNOW THAT!!!!" After much struggling he finally pinned Deino down and told him sternly, "Now, stop it, your better than this. Besides no biting until we know them better, we talked about this!"

Finally Deino calmed down, and, as he always did, gave his cutesy, "I'm sorry face." Blake sighed. He knew that face made it impossible for him to be angry, though he wished it wasn't so. "Well, I guess your sorry aren't you, though no more of that stuff, okay? Now go...", he had been about to say, say sorry to Mishka for nearly biting her face or something when he noticed she was being dragged away. "Oh." Then of course the inevitable happened, Aron still curious about Deino had gotten closer to the duo and was now in what Deino thought of as, his bubble. Then of course came that bite. Well, bites really. He sighed again. Deino's have some bites, he thought, they can actually chew, bite, and eat anything! He then pulled his Deino, much easier this time away and went to apologize to the trainer.

"Sorry, Deino doesn't like it when people he doesn't know get to close to his "bubble". He bites or headbutts anything that does that."

[Natula]

"Oh no! Is everyone alright?" Kaaera said as she ran over to were the fighting was.
"Eeeeee!" Eevee exclaimed. Eevee walked over as well feeling rather worried.

[The Blazing Aura]

Drakes POV.

Drake had stood on one side of the stage with the other teachers during the Headmasters speech, he quickly scanned through the crowd, trying to see if any of the students were in his house, five were. Drake looked at the Pokemon that stood beside the students, a Bagon, a Cacnea, a Gastly, an Absol and a Deino certainly a good wide range of Pokemon, Drake only hoped that the trainers were just as varied, he emerged from his thoughts just as the headmaster finished his speech, joining in with the round of clapping Drake watched as the students sorted themselves out into their house groups. Drake started moving as a fight erupted between the Deino and an Aron, it seemed the Aron's trainer, Marcel, had taunted the Absol and bitten off more than he could chew when the Aron had attacked Deino. Drake started moving slowly forwards, ready to move in and stop the fight if it took a turn for the worse but ready to see what the two trainers could do.

---

Clone's POV

Clone stood slightly bored by the heads speech, however eager to work out which house she was in by the time it had ended, checking the colour she realized she was in Goldenrod house, kinda made sense as her badge was a shining gold colour. Clone looked around ehr trying to find anyone else with the same colour, she spotted a young man with a Whismur, "Err hey, it looks like we're both in Goldenrod House. My name's Hannah, though everyone calls me Clone and this is my Snorunt, what's your name?" Clone was nervous, she always was around people.

[Jolleus]

Chance Ross listened intently to the headmaster's speech, copying it word-for-word on his notepad. After receiving his badge and map, and being dismissed to the dorms, he tucked his pencil behind his ear and folded his notebook.

Following Casi, he said, "Hello, Professor Delasy. My name is Chance Ross, and I'm in your House--well, I guess you probably knew that--anyways, I'm really really eager to start lessons in the morning. Could you tell me, by any chance, what tomorrow's Moves and Abilities lesson will be about? Just so I can prepare, you know. Oh, and what exactly is the policy on keeping pokémon in their pokéballs? Can I have Decibal--my Whismur--out while I'm in my room?"

Decibal was currently in his pokéball. Chance didn't trust him in noisy crowds yet--he was afraid that Decibal might Uproar.

[New Emperica]

Mishka broke free from Hades and slunk back towards the Dewford group, which seemed to attracted a girl and a teacher. The blonde approached the group and looked at his feet.
"I'm so sorry." Mishka said softly, addressing the boy with the Aron. "I guess I have some anger issues...once again, I'm really sorry for freaking out like that..."
Mishka's attitude had completely flipped back to 'quiet and shy'. Hades observed his trainer with a look that could have been of concern, before directing his attention to the new arrivals.
The Absol delivered an inquisitive glare to the teacher for a moment, qnd making a noise the expressed contempt. It redirected it's gaze to the Evee and it's trainer. Hades lifted his paw put towards the Evee in what appeared to be a friendly gesture.
"Sol?"
Or maybe it was a trap? A test? No...Mishka was SURE it was a friendly gesture.

Decibal was currently in his pokéball. Chance didn't trust him in noisy crowds yet--he was afraid that Decibal might Uproar.

Casi smiled warmly, pleased that this kid actually wanted to learn. "Tomorrow's lesson will be about Egg moves and releasing the potential of your pokémon. Most pokémon know all sorts of weird and wonderful moves without realising, because the trainers never unleash their partner's potential. Kirimi here knew Earthquake due to its parents."

"Miltank!" the pokémon cried powerfully, affirming its master's statement.

As for keeping pokémon outside their balls, it's allowed in certain areas. I'll explain these in a moment once everybody has gathered."

He waited, taking a seat on one of the armchairs, until all of his House had entered. Casi stood up. "Welcome to Snowpoint Academy and Goldenrod House. I am your House Master and it is my job to go over the rules of the Academy. "First of all, pokémon are allowed outside of their balls in the confines of the House and in the grounds within reason. And no Digletts or Dugtrios allowed out at anytime except on a battlefield or outside. Pokémon are not allowed out in the hallways and in class, unless the Professor teaching you allows it. There will be no battling in the Academy unless you are using one of the many battlefields located around the school. Like the other houses, Goldenrod House has three battlefields inside its boundaries: One indoor on the ground floor, one outdoor and one on the roof. The indoor field is of league quality and the field may be changed to suit your needs: Water, ice, grass and rock are available. The outdoor field is a basic field as is the rooftop one. However, there are strong winds on the roof of the tower. Great for training flying types but take caution. You are expected to attend class. If you do not attend, you will be found by one of the school's many pokémon. Come on out," he said, addressing the wall above the fire. Out of the wall, three ghost pokémon appeared. A Gengar, a Dusknoir and a Mismagius. "If you are found outside of class without a permission ship," Casi announced whilst pulling a bright permission slip from his jacket, "You will be put under Hypnosis and taken to detention. These three help guard Goldenrod House. If someone without a House badge tries to enter, they will be put under Hypnosis. You each only have one badge. If you lose it, find a teacher. You're expected to be in your House by 10pm each night. Classes start at 9am. Timetables are in your rooms, along with a small welcome package. If any of you have trouble waking up, then these three will be happy to help. You can buy more pokémon supplies in the school shop beneath the Central Tower." The ghost pokémon cheered, a slight glint in their eyes. "Classrooms are located off the hallways and my office is at the top of Central Tower. Any questions?"

In each student's welcome package there would be:

1) 5 pokéballs
2) 3 Potions
3) Map of the Academy and surrounding area
4 2 pens and a notebook, all with the emblem of the Academy embossed on them

The Absol delivered an inquisitive glare to the teacher for a moment, qnd making a noise the expressed contempt. It redirected it's gaze to the Evee and it's trainer. Hades lifted his paw put towards the Evee in what appeared to be a friendly gesture.
"Sol?"
Or maybe it was a trap? A test? No...Mishka was SURE it was a friendly gesture.

Oh, um, it's okay. I didn't mean to imply that Absol was a dangerous pokemon, it's just that he looks older than Aron here and may accidentally hurt him I should stay away from this guy...lucky I'm not in his house. Well, it was nice to meet you! maybe I'll see you in one of my classes!

Aron! Aron! Aron shouted. He was trying to gain the Absol's attention. Ron! Aron seemed to want to play. Absol continued to ignore him.

"Hey," Marcel said, "Can i let Aron play with Absol? He seems to want to"

Drake's POV

Drake decided to step in, despite his will for a battle to happen here he was a teacher first. moving towards the small core of students, he spoke to them, "I think it would be best if you each went to your houses, the heads of those houses are waiting for you there" looking at Mishka Drake spoke, "You seem to be in Dewford house, Come on i'll show you there, I'll explain everything to you once we're there." Drake moved through the halls towards the East tower, hoping Mishka was following.
Walking into the Lounge-like area at the base of the tower, Drake leant on one of the armchairs as the students of his house filed in, confident they were all there Drake began his speech. "Welcome to Snowpoint Academy, and to this Dewford House. I am Drake Peirson, here as both Professor of Offensive studies and the House Master. It is my job to go over the rules of this academy. First of all, pokémon are allowed outside of their balls in the confines of the House and in the grounds within reason. And no Digletts or Dugtrios allowed out at anytime except on a battlefield or outside. Pokémon are not allowed out in the hallways and in class, unless the Professor teaching you allows it. There will be no battling in the Academy unless you are using one of the many battlefields located around the school. Like the other houses, Dewford House has three battlefields inside its boundaries: One indoor on the ground floor, one outdoor and one on the roof. The indoor field is of league quality and the field may be changed to suit your needs: Water, ice, grass and rock are available. The outdoor field is a basic field as is the rooftop one. However, there are strong winds on the roof of the tower. Great for training flying types but take caution." Drake stopped, "These battlefields can be important for your learning, whilst i cannot force you to use them, as a Pokemon trainer you will be expected to fight battles, so i strongly suggest you get used to battling, especially in different conditions."
Drake stopped for breath, "Secondly, You are expected to attend class. If you do not attend, you will be found by one of the school's many Pokémon. We have three ghost Pokémon for our house, a Gengar, a Dusknoir and a Mismagius. If you are found outside of class without a permission ship, You will be put under Hypnosis and taken to detention. These three help guard Dewford House. If someone without a House badge tries to enter, they will be put under Hypnosis. You each only have one badge, Don't lose it, however if you do lose it for whatever reason find a teacher immediately. You're expected to be in Dewford House by 10pm each night. Classes start at 9am. Timetables are in your rooms, along with a small welcome package. If you have any problems waking up, I've heard that our ghost Pokemon are very good at solving that problem. You can buy more pokémon supplies in the school shop beneath the Central Tower whilst classrooms are located off the hallways. Any questions?"

Clones POV

Clone listened to the headmasters small house speech, it seemed to answer all her questions, though the ghost Pokemon freaked her out, though she supposed that that was the intended effect. She waited for any other questions to be asked when one of her own suddenly popped into her head, "Not that i want to personally find out, but what are the detentions like Sir?" she asked, half scared of the response and half scared of the others, what they might think of her after she asked the question.
