X⇒ LOCATION : AuditoriumXXXXXXXXXX⇒ WITH : Iris and Maria, as well as some other students "Thanks, Iris."Silvano thanked Iris before stepping into the aisle her and Maria had chosen to sit within. He decided to take up the seat beside Iris on the left since it was less awkward to squeeze past both girls to get to a seat. As he sat down, he noted that like Maria, Iris had her hair done up nice and even incorporated a green ribbon alongside her braided locks. Given the time both girls must have spent on their hair, it made Silvano wonder about the gravity of the opening ceremony.
Hunching forward in his seat so that he could see Maria past Iris who was beside him, Silvano smiled and returned her greeting to the both of them. "Good Morning you, two. By the way, both you girls look nice today." He complimented them, realising that their school uniforms and house colours fit them well. Given the green hue of Iris' hair, the Flygon colours especially seemed to compliment her well. As for Maria, Silvano was typically use to seeing her don only warm colors, especially reds, which greatly contrasted the green colors she now had to wear. Perhaps seeing her in green would grow on him.
Silvano snapped out of his reverie when Maria asked him if he had any plans of letting his Pokemon of its pokéball at some point during the day. Truthfully, the thought didn't even cross his mind. He didn't care for letting his Pokemon out much - he hardly saw a reason to. It was just an unwanted ugly bat Pokemon his sister had handed down to him since he needed some kind of Pokemon to bring with him to the school. Additionally, the bat Pokemon only obeyed him when it felt like it. Thus, Silvano had no real attachment to the Pokemon. Letting out a bit of a sigh, Silvano gave Maria a shrug. "If you want a Pokemon for your Lilipup to play with... why not have it make friend's with Iris' Bebe." He answered her plainly. "I really don't see a reason to let Zubat out." Falling silent a moment, he then turned his attention to Iris. "I hope you don't mind me suggesting your Pokemon, but I'm sure Maria would be delighted if the two of you acquainted your Pokemon."Silvano explained with little enthusiasm. In his honest opinion, Iris had a much more interesting Pokemon - one he had never seen before and as she had described could be found in multiple colours. The Pokemon was also the smallest one he had seen, and could easily fit in the palm of a person's hand. If only he had a Pokemon just as fascinating as hers.
After he had finished speaking, he heard a girl call out in a loud voice, in an attempt to get the attention of one of the boys in a row further up from then. It looked as though the boy was actually trying to hide from her, albeit poorly. He looked embarrassed as well. Silvano guess the two might have been related, or maybe it was some kind of one sided friendship. Regardless, Silvano decided not to get invoked since it wasn't any of his business.

✗ WORD COUNT :No Idea;macbook program won't say ✗ OOC : ...
Iris watched as Silvano sat beside her instead of Maria. Iris thought for sure that he would sit on Maria's side since they were friends. Once he was seated, Iris touched her hair as he complimented them both on their appearance. "Thanks." she said, being polite since it was nice of him to compliment them. At least that meant she didn't look a complete wreck with her hair. She looked at him and noticed that he looked at both at them. Her first and then Maria last and it seemed the longest. Iris could only assume that Silvano was surprised to see Maria in green. Meanwhile for Iris, she loved the color. At different points in her life she had lived in the city were the trees and anything green and natural was only found in the forests, pictures or the mirror. So seeing anything green was a treat.
It seemed that both her and Silvano's thoughts were shifted as Maria asked about Silvano's pokemon coming out of the pokeball. Iris' eyes lit up a little. Of course he had a pokemon that's one of the reason he was at this school. She didn't have to wonder what type it was since Maria said that it was Zubat. She was excited to see one when Slivano didn't seem like he wanted to let the pokemon out. He then transferred the talk back to her and her pokemon before Silvano apologized for including her. Iris blinked and then shook her head.
"It's okay. Bebe likes to make friends." Iris retorted. "But I would like to see the Zubat. I like them." Iris grinned as she was honest with him. "Besides Zubat could use a friend to. Please." she added at that part with her looking at her hands. She didn't want to seem pushy or any thing.
While the Auditorium was steadily being filled up with students of all ages so were the number of Pokemon. Students had let out an assortment of Pokemon from across various regions. Some were recognizable from the many Pokemon who were admitted in the Day Care Center in the Kalos region. Others were not all that familiar to the girl's whose eye's enlarged at the sheer number of non-human creatures. The girl's attention was completely absorbed by the various Pokemon though that didn't stop her from noticing more and more kids her age from entering the building. Some were loud, others quiet, and there were a few who were neither. Students sat nearby, others far while a handful were somewhere in the middle. It was already the first day of school that all this new information was both overwhelming and happily accepted. The sheer number of people present far outnumbered the girl's elementary school. At the same time it was because the environment was just so different that it was a welcoming change. That didn't change the fact that the girl would choose to put Pokemon first but that didn't necessarily mean that the girl didn't know any manners. Being social with Pokemon wasn't the same as being social with people and it is because of this that the girl wasn't much of a talker or perhaps it would be more correct to say that she wasn't even sure what to discuss about. Speaking with family was easy but with a complete stranger was a challenge in its own league.
Black eye's shifted between its Trainer to the Dragon-type Pokemon who finally noticed its gestures. One could see the Bagon creeping upon the two, almost as if the creature knew what the Chespin had in mind. The Pokemon's behavior, at least the Bagon's, appeared somewhat childish but nothing that would hinder away a helping hand in one of the grass-types schemes. Creeping closer and closer the Chespin crept towards the Bagon but also being cautious enough to alert the girl. The girl that seemed to be the Pokemon's target was attentive to some other human beings. No one in particular but her eye's just scanned the whole scene. Even while they landed on the mischievous Chespin there was no alarm bells ringing in her mind from what her facial features could convey. It would be a good sign for the grass Pokemon who wanted to give the a bit of a surprising welcome. Thus when the Bagon located itself underneath its seat the Chespin already had something in mind. "Chespin-pin Chespin-Ches! Ches ches ches~ {Lets give this girl a good scare! Heeheehee~) The Pokemon's tone was soft enough to avoid being noticed by the girl but just loud enough for the Bagon to hear. With what it wanted to say being said two vines appeared from its back to wrap itself around the Bagon's body. It heaved the small creature up but it had underestimated the weight of this particular Pokemon. It was forced to position itself from the base of the chair (which was near the girl) to the seat back of where the girl was sitting. The Pokemon weighed somewhere around 90 pounds and it was quite the exercise to haul the Bagon from under the seat. You could see the frustration that came from hauling this small deceiving heavy weight. "Chespin {Give it all you got}" With those words the Chespin threw the Bagon from under the seat up into the air to make it headed straight to its unsuspecting Trainer.

A little Ralts approached the little gathering of children having a chat. The Ralts seemed to recognize the boy, Antonio, though not from personal history with the boy. No, he had seen the boy but never met him. So it wasn't likely the boy knew who the Ralts was. The Ralts just quietly looked up at the boy, wondering if this was the one he had seen with his trainer in some old photos.
Of course, somewhere else in the auditorium, the trainer herself, Niara, was looking for the Ralts who disappeared from her room that morning to explore. They arrived safely yesterday and got everything unpacked where Niara took the day to explore the nearby town with her parents who were supposed to be opening an office nearby. They wanted to move into town so they could be nearby if she needed them or if the school needed them. Niara had her rebellious moments, even though she comes off as a sweet, obedient and sometimes just outright adorable.
Mitus! she called out, hoping to find her Pokemon. Where did you go? I know you came in here!She was worried about losing the Ralts because she didn't want to seem, especially on her first day, like she was an irresponsible trainer.

X⇒ LOCATION : Auditorium XXXXXXXXXXX⇒ WITH : Oz and any other student nearby Heading up to the large building, Ichiro double-checked the small plaque beside a set of doors which read 'Auditorium' in plain writing, before making his way inside. The room was huge and already filled with numerous students that all donned uniforms with various colours, denoting which house they had be divided up into. Taking a few steps further into the room, Ichiro noticed that a few of them even had pokemon with them, some more mischievous than others. He also noted that there were some pokemon that he had never seen before, like the green and brown mammal-looking pokemon and a light blue dragon pokemon just to list a few.
Turning to look at the Snivy that was still hanging onto his right shoulder, he smiled at the little green pokemon. "Where do you think we should sit?" He asked the lizard who only titled his had at him, as if unsure himself. "Hmm... let's see."Heading down a set of stairs that devided up the sections of seats, Ichiro began scanning the faces of students, trying to look for any that he recognized. He had managed to spot Eve who he had meet from the other day, but she appeared to be sitting with another brown haired girl he didn't know. Ichiro didn't much want to inturpt their conversation they looked like they were having, so he decided to keep searching for a good place to seat. What struck him as odd was that there appeared to be a light haired boy sitting by himself, further away from the other students. It looked almost as though he wanted nothing to do with them. Was it because he had no friends? Ichiro began to wonder more why a person would choose to sit so far away from everyone else, that he started to feel compelled to go find out. He had nothing to lose, right? So why not?
Once he reached the bottom of the stairs, he began to make his way through the front row until he made it to the section of seats the light haired boy had secluded himself to. Starting up the stairs, Ichiro noted that the boy appeared to be watching the other kids within the room, almost as if he was observing them or something. Ichiro half wondered if it was because he wanted to join them but didn't have the courage to. With his Snivy still clinging to his shoulder, Ichiro continued to ascend the stairs until he reached the row the lone boy was seated at. Unsure if the other would be accepting of his company -- after all most usually weren't -- he decided to head down the row of seats that was behind the one the row the boy was seated in. Once he made it to the seat that was directly behind the other boy on his right, Ichiro finally sat down. As he did, his pokemon decided to let go of his shoulder and slid into the seat beside his trainer. Hunching forward, Ichiro folded his arms on top of the back of the seat that was in front of him, and also happened to be the first seat on the other boy's left. Nonchalantly, he decided to get the boy's attention, in case his actions hadn't already. "Hey, Mr.Lonely. Whatcha doing all alone and by yourself?"He asked as his eyes began to study the boy seated in the row in front of him. "Don't you have any friends you could sit with? Hm?"

As she sat down on the chair nearest Izumi, Tera's hair starting bugging her which prompted her to take the time to fix it out. It did not change the fact that it was still a mess, but her hair was no longer in her face obstructing her vision. She looked back at the blue-haired boy as he replied. "Thank ya~ Hehe, that woulda been cool!" She hadn't cross her mind that if she trained Flare properly then the little lizard Pokemon at her feet would eventually become a Charizard until he mentioned it. She had too many things in her mind as it is and most of these thoughts that swam around were the fact that she was so close to being late for this event.
Izumi's features radiated with happiness, a face Tera had not seen before. Then again, they only did just meet yesterday, so it was no surprise that she wasn't familiar with his all of his mannerisms. It took but a nod for them to each other. As she watched the little dragon Pokemon scampered off towards the green helmet wearing Pokmon, Tera couldn't help but admire the bond that they had and wondered if she'd ever get close to Flare as they were. Small worries began to sprout, but they came to a halt when Izumi asked her how her morning was. Though this made other sorts of worries start to pop up. "I felt like I was giri giri safu(Just barely safe)! I gotta say sorry too; I was in a hurry and made a mess on my way out." She followed with an awkward chuckle. She still had to think of something decent to say, knowing that simply saying sorry wouldn't do her feeling justice. "Why do you have to apologize?" She asked in return, hoping she wasn't being too intrusive. The girl couldn't imagine that it would be for the same reason she had to.
Meanwhile, while the trainers were conversing, Flare would longingly glance every now and again at Altais and the Chespin. They seemed like they were having fun. She wanted to join them, but was far too shy to do so and didn't even know how to go about about asking them. Of course Tera didn't catch a hint of what the charmander was feeling so she couldn't help. And so she remained at Tera's side, clinging to her leg as her trainer patted her head.

Oz continued to watch the other students play around and talk carelessly. He could hear pretty much every conversation in this room. Proving that children were unknowingly loud. He did take notice to some kid keeping an eye on Oz but he acted as if he didn't know. Lets see, a blue hair male, a green hair girl, several pink hair girls and a blonde boy. He did glance over to see if he was gonna sit right next to him. But apparently not. Seems like this kid lack courage to be right next to a stranger. Chuckling softly to himself as he kept watching the other kids. But he could tell this one was a curious fellow, and Oz was the thing to kill this curious cat at some point.
Hearing the boy as he spoke at first and giving him a quick reply in a playful tone as he smiled "Observing the lemmings lead to the water. Nothing more and nothing less. What about you?" Chuckling a bit as he herd the boy next response and leaning his head towards the boy as he continued to smirk as he saw he was also observing his movements as well as he spoke in the same tone as before but calmer. "I had friends, until i was sent to this school. They held no interest in academics and i also had felt the same but reluctantly i went along my entire family whims."
Looking back at the several groups of kids as time passed more and more groups formed. Speaking in the same tone "And what say you, Black Sheep? Usually the chances of someone denying the order of things is a ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent chance of happening. I'd think that you would be a blind sheep and join one of those groups. Yet here you stand, or sit should i say and are now next to a wolf. So with all things considered id be lying if i didn't say you peeked my fancy a tad bit."
Looking back at the unknown boy and his green pokemon with slight interest as he pulled out his pokeball and pressed the button to bring out a Castform who hovered over Oz's head. "Oz, Oz Panter, this is my castform. My family gave me him several years back." Making sure to be friendly and keeping eye contact with the boy as he watched him.

Evelyn pulled her book bag off her shoulder before putting it under her seat as she listened to Koru. ‘So, she’s from Ecruteak City.’ She thought to herself. It was one town over from Violet City. She smiled though as Koru’s story for how she got Cyndaquil was similar to her story for getting her own Pokémon. When Koru asked where she was from, Evelyn thought about how to explain it. “Well, I’m originally from Violet City but we moved when I was five to Solaceon Town in the Sinnoh Region, been there ever since.”She answered just as someone yell in the back.
Turning her attention in the direction of whoever shouted Evelyn spotted Hayato and an orange haired girl. “Not sure…” she replied just as Koru started shouting. ‘So the girl’s name is Li…’ she thought as she looked between the back of the room and Koru. Blinking for a moment at the Salamence girl Evelyn smiled. “I met the boy she’s yelling at yesterday. His name’s Hayato.” She said before turning to the back of the room. ‘Hayato and Li must know each other.’ She thought and she contemplated calling out. A part of her really did want to call over to him and invite him to join them. However she wasn’t the type to draw attention to herself and he didn’t seem the type to like the spotlight either. Oh well she’d see him eventually she was sure. Perhaps his friend would drag him down with her.

Maria Taylor Flygon House Future Pokémon Breeder & Healer
Location : Auditorium
Company :Other Students... Iris, Silvano Status :Well Rested and Ready to go... Slightly irritated... Wearing :Uniform & a high ponytail
“Thanks Silvano.” Maria said simply at his compliment, glancing over at him before shifting her gaze away from him. She hardly found his compliment necessary then again Maria was never one for being the center of anyone’s attention. However, she could see just by meeting his gaze for a brief moment that he wasn’t sure about her and the color green. The brunette could actually agree with him on that but that didn’t mean she was going to admit it. Her house uniform was her house uniform and that’s just how it was. Perhaps the color would grow on her until then she’d just live with it. Though, Maria was sure that she’d be wearing her usual red color when she got the chance too.
When Silvano mentioned that he didn’t see that reason for Zubat to be let out and that she could have Lillipup make friends with Bebe Maria narrowed her eyes slightly.“You know, I don’t appreciate that you continue to treat Zubat like some caged animal, after I’ve repeatedly told you not too.” She retorted showing her more stubborn side. “It’s like I’m a broken record or something…” she muttered as she began to calm down.“Either way I don’t want to argue about this right now.” Maria said before turning to Iris.“Sorry about my small outburst.” She apologized to Iris before hearing her say she wanted to see Zubat and that he could use friends too. ‘Like I haven’t told him that enough…’she thought before adding.“Iris is right you know. Besides I see no reason why you can’t let him hang out with everybody. It’s the least you could do and that way Iris can meet him as well.”
The way Maria saw it Silvano couldn’t just let Zubat out every time he needed someone to battle for him. It wasn’t fair to the bat pokemon and naturally Maria didn’t like it one bit. She preferred Zubat to be taken care of… that was probably the only reason she ever hung out with Silvano to begin with. Giving a light sigh, the brunette turned her attention to the sounds of shouting. Noting the scene at the back of the room she wondered what was going on between the two individuals. She noticed the girl was in Charizard and the boy was in Kingdra, after that she didn’t have a clue. Although she had a feeling they knew each other much like she knew Silvano and he knew her. Turning her attention to the front, Maria just hoped that things would go more smoothly and Zubat would get just a little bit of freedom.

X⇒ LOCATION : Auditorium XXXXXXXXXXX⇒ WITH : Oz and any other student nearby Still hunched over the seat in front of him with his arms crossed, Ichiro couldn't help but give the boy an incredulous look when he explained what he was doing sitting all alone. What exactly did he mean by "observing lemmings?" It took a few seconds for Ichiro to clue in that the boy must have been speaking metaphorically, something that also piqued his interest, being a fan of artistic writing and such. Though, the more he thought about his choice of words, it seemed like a rather pessimistic thing to say in Ichiro's opinion. Referring to others as lemmings usually meant that they were seen as blind followers that would do anything even to their own detriment. Did that mean that this boy saw the other students as such? Ichiro wasn't sure, but he decided to humor the boy by returning a thin smile of his own when asked what he was up to. "Nothin' much." The blonde simply replied. He could have told the boy that he was just curious about why a boy like him, who appeared to have good looks and an apparent suave matter of speech, decided to sit far away from all the others. In Ichiro's mind, the boy had the makings of someone who could be really popular among other students if he wanted to be, but for some reason, decided he was better off having nothing to do with the other kids. This mystery alone greatly intrigued Ichiro, who found fitting in with other rather difficult.
Ichiro's attention didn't leave the boy as he turned his head to gaze back up at him. If Ichiro didn't know any better, he could of sworn the other was now silently observing him much like he had done with the other kids within the auditorium. "I'm sorry to hear that." Ichiro slowly replied when the other told him that he had lost his friends when he was sent to Ordell. Truthfully, that might have been true for a great deal of the students that were now attending the academy. Though, Ichiro suspected that since having arrived, the boy could have made at least one new friend. Maybe that wasn't the case. "Sometimes, we have no choice when it comes to the families wishes."
When the boy referred to him as a 'black sheep', Ichiro could quickly tell that it was another metaphor and decided to run with it. In a way, he really did feel like a black sheep since others hardly understood and often poked fun at his interests. "This black sheep doesn't fit into the fold. My interests are much too aberrant for them -- I can't really explain it." Ichiro casually explained, his tone becoming more somber. Inwardly, he found it interesting that the boy also sort of took an interest in him since he too didn't feel much like joining the others. "I guess I'm just drawn to those who appear different. Besides, maybe I find crossing paths with wolves more fulfilling. Do you feel the same?"
When the boy introduced himself as Oz Panter and allowed his pokemon to come out of its pokeball, Ichiro's eyes lit up and he sat up slightly. He had never seen a little grey floating pokemon like the one Oz owned. Admittedly, it was kind of cute looking. "It's a pleasure to meat you, Oz Panter. I've never seen a Castform before. It's kind of cool the way he floats like that."Ichiro remarked before deciding to introduced himself. "I'm Ichiro Sato and this pokemon beside me," he paused a moment to quickly gesture to the grass pokemon sitting beside him quietly, "is Snivy -- though, I might give him a nice nickname at some point. Speaking of names..."Ichiro hesitated only a moment, but decided he'd explain his own name a little more. "My parents didn't want to enroll me under my real name. So I choose "Ichiro Sato" just to spite them. The name's a euphemism for "John Doe". I think it's clever." He smiled. He figured Oz might find the little tidbit about his name somewhat interesting since he too seemed interested in the more pessimistic side of things.

Oz continued to look at the boy and when he replied with a simple "Nothing much" it made him chuckle a bit. He was curious if he was choosing his words carefully as a safety precaution? It didn't matter much if he did or didn't do it on purpose. As Oz observed the other students he herd him apologizing about how he was separated from his friends. Making him shrug as he spoke "I only knew them for two years. So it wasn't hard for me to walk down a different path that they themselves were either not interested in or were scared of. My family and i had a long debate of the pros and cons. But finally i simple went along with there wishes. Who knows, they might end up sending more of my relatives unknowingly for the same reason why i'm here.
If his family did that would cause quite the problem since it be like fighting himself in a nut shell. Still uncertain of his ideal goal would be and how to obtain it. But for now it be fun to toy with these simple minded people. Looking up at the boy as he spoke about being drawn to people who appear different then asked him if he felt the same. Causing Oz to chuckle and give a sly smirk.
"Only when it fits my interest. Only a question of how long will i remain in the pack to find one to help succeed where they have failed. But each pack will be a helpful milestone in the long run. If you ever happen to fight a wolf its best to remove its head like a snake. But be ever weary... Even if its just a head, it can still bite. So just be sure to stay out of reach or else you'll be killed from beyond the grave." Chuckling playfully as he watched the boy.
He didn't understand why he sat up and commented on his Castform who was just hovering around Oz head. "Depending on the weather, depends on the form he takes. This is his normal, there's still a rain, heat, and snow forms it can use." Reaching up and grabbing Castforms head and making it lower itself to eye level and letting go and Castform just slowly went back to the same height he used to be at before he grabbed as Oz listened to the boy.
"Pleasure to meet you Ichiro. If your gonna nickname your snivy, Alexander if its a boy and a Christina if its a female. Fitting name for a pokemon who is a regal in my opinion." Listening to the boy as he explained Ichiro wasn't his real name. Making Oz give a sly smile as he listened. "Makes me curious a tiny bit as to why they didn't want you to use your real name. But i'll survive other wise." Looking at the boy attire and then looking at everyone else having similar attires making him chuckle a bit. "Seems like i'm under dressed. I forgot that this school had a dress code. Oh well, i'll just change once this is all said and done. I just arrived here after all so mistakes are bound to happen."
Oz bring his attention back to the boy and his snivy that was behaving quite well.ee

The students were rushed to their seats and told to settle down by the hired staffed. The opening ceremony would be starting momentarily and all the students would need to be properly seated and on their best behavior because they were not alone. The auditorium had two floors; all the students were currently present on the first floor while the second floor was occupied by special guests. These guests were elder gentlemen and ladies (some were young), but they all carried a heavy professional air about them. The people in the second floor were none other than Ordell Academy's potential donors and they were watching the students on the first floor like hawks. Of course they were very discreet and due to the students excitement then it was likely no one had seen them or even knew they were there. With the lights dimming down, that erased any possibility for the students to notice them. The opening ceremony was about to begin, but the stage was empty except for a podium that was placed on left side of the stage. Everything else was covered by the stage blinds.
A female voice was heard throughout the auditorium grabbing everyone's attention. "We ask that all students to remain seated. The opening ceremony will begin shortly. Please remember to be attentive and respectful throughout the ceremony. Thank you." Once she finished making the announcement, the room would hopefully fall silent as the stage lights were turned on to focus on the stage. The blinds were slowly starting to open...
==========
A young black-haired boy was running towards the location of the auditorium alongside his lizard pokemon. The boy was panting and sweating bullets from the mini-marathon he just endured to reach the building where the opening ceremony would take place. He left his House thinking that he had enough time to reach the auditorium; oh how wrong he was. When he was setting his alarm, he was still thinking about Celestic Town's timezone, and he was paying for this small mistake. I...I...I think we...made it," the boy heaved trying to catch his breath. The fire pokemon pointed at the building ahead or more specifically he pointed at the front doors which were closed. The boy grabbed his hair almost wanting to pull it out, "the door is closed! Oh man we're in so much trouble!" He looked around frantically, but there was no adult present that could help him.
Charmander frowned not quite sure how to handle this situation either. Just like his friend, he had forgotten about the different timezone. "I have to...I have to get in there," Marco walked to the front doors and tried to open them, but no luck. There had to be another way to enter the building and all he had to do was find it. Charmander pulled on his sleeve to grab his attention and when the boy looked down he saw his pokemon pointing towards the direction of a man walking from the side of the building. The boy and his pokemon exchanged looks before following after the man.
The man was really tall and had dark hair. He was wearing formal clothes, but nothing professional like a business suit. The man reached into his pockets and pulled out a key which he used to open the door; this was their chance. The boy returned his pokemon to his pokeball knowing that pass this point they could not enter together. Trying to be as sneaky as possible, the black-haired boy managed to enter through this backdoor right before it closed, but where to go now? He looked around and saw that the man was already some ways down a hall. He didn't know where to go, but he was inside the building so he would eventually reach the auditorium, right?
An announcement was made that could be heard all around. This surprised the boy, nearly made him jump out of his skin, but the contents worried him as well. The opening ceremony was starting and he wasn't properly seated! "I need to find my seat right now!" with those thoughts, he started running, but where to? He had no idea. Looking around while running was probably not the best idea, but how else was he going to find an exit from this place? He came to a stop when he bumped against something which caused him to fall back on his rear. He looked up and saw the tall man looking down at him. At that moment, he was blinded by bright lights. When his eyes adjusted, he saw many heads that belonged to children around his age. The boy's eyes widen, he finally made it to the auditorium.
==========
He was late. Technically he wasn't late, but at the same time he was technically late since everyone who was a part of the ceremony needed to be present in the auditorium at least an hour before it began. He was just arriving, but he already knew everything that he needed to do and say. Still he would surely be scolded once the ceremony was over, but at the moment it was show time! The stage blinds were starting to open meaning it was his cue to go to the podium and say his speech. He reached into his pocket to take out the note-cards he would use for today, but that was when he felt a bump from behind him. The man looked over his shoulder and saw a black-haired boy lying on the ground. He blinked in confusion, but that ended when the felt the stage lights hitting him from behind. The stage blinds were opened and in front of him were the first time students of the academy. He looked back at the boy on the ground and an idea popped into his head. "I'm going to need your help, kid. Time to get up," the man helped him stand and together they walked to the podium.
The man was tall (about 6 feet 4 inches) and had handsome features. He had an athletic build which was noticeable even from his current attire. He wasn't wearing a suit and some people might even accuse him of being under-dressed for such an occasion. However, the outfit he was wearing worked well for him. He wore a white button-up shirt, the top two buttons opened, with the sleeves rolled-up, black dress pants, and polished black dress shoes. His hair was neatly combed with his bangs covering his right eye. His smile was charming as he faced the crowd with the black-haired boy standing beside him. He grabbed the mic from the podium, "Good afternoon students, donors, and hired staff. My name is Antonio Reyes and I am here with a special guest to welcome you to Ordell Academy for our official opening." Antonio paused for the applause. Once it was over, he turned to boy who looked frozen in place. "You're up kid," Antonio handed the boy a note-card which the boy hesitantly grabbed. The man handed the mic to the boy and patted him on the back. "And now here are some opening words from one of our students."
==========
The black-haired boy had no idea what was happening because everything was moving too fast! First, he was knocked down after running into this stranger. Second, said stranger led him to the podium where are the children were looking at him. Lastly, he was handed a note-card along with a mic. Did this man seriously intended for him to open for the Opening Ceremony? His, "You're up kid," comment confirmed those fears. His hands already started shaking and if it wasn't for the man patting him on the back then he would have remain frozen forever. He looked down at the note-card because looking at his peers was too embarrassing.
"M-My name is Say Name here, uh-! I mean my name is Marco Guerrero!" The last part was said just a tad bit too loudly which caused some screeching sounds to echo around the auditorium. Everyone flinched from the noise including Marco who almost dropped his mic, but Antonio caught it before it could hit the ground. He returned the mic to Marco, place his hand on the boy's shoulder, and gave him a nod with an encouraging smile. Marco stared back at him scared, but he returned the nod and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and then sighed to erase his worries. When he opened his eyes again, he was ready to read the rest of the card. "My name is Marco Guerrero Katsuragi...welcome all students to Ordell Academy. You have taken your first steps into your own journey. We at Ordell Academy aspire to provide our students with the knowledge necessary for them to grow into strong, capable adults that will continue the journey they begin here to reach their goals," Marco's voice was clear and not as shy as before. His words mixed with his accent, but nothing was unclear and instead was quite pleasant to hear. "What the future brings is unknown, but we will work hard to provide you with the necessary tools to face the present and rise above the past so that your future can be bright. Thank you everyone for joining us. The beginning of a legend starts today..."
When Marco finished, Antonio started clapping which was followed by everyone in the auditorium. The black-haired boy exhaled in relief, his heart was beating so fast! But he was able to read the note-card. Antonio shook his hand and smiled at him. Marco smiled back, he never wanted to do that again.
==========
Antonio was impressed by the courage the boy named Marco displayed. He almost thought that he made a mistake, but everything worked out for the better and maybe having a student give the speech impressed certain people located in the second floor of the auditorium. "Thank you for those precious words. Let's give him another round of applause," Antonio initiated the clapping once more. Once everyone was silent again, it was his turn to stand on the podium again. "We would like to introduce our teachers for this academy year. These people will be your mentors for the years to come and they will provide you with the tools necessary for your journey. So without further ado, here comes our teacher staff," There was a line of chairs for all teachers to take their place. The teachers had been waiting backstage to be called so their introductions could be made. Each teacher came up one by one and took their assigned seats.
"The teachers have provided their own speech so everyone please pay attention to their words. The first teacher may step up." With those final words, Antonio and Marco left the podium. Antonio was given a chair to seat and Marco was escorted to be front row to seat with rest of the students. Antonio shook hands with Marco once more. There were some flashes from cameras, this was an important day after all so there were people recording the event as well as taking pictures. Antonio passed a hand through his hair, things were going smoothly and hopefully they would continue for the rest of the ceremony.
(A/N: Alright guys the ceremony has begun! As the announcement mentioned, there will be an order for teacher speeches. So here is the order: Battle Teacher, Coordinator/Performance Teacher, Outdoor Teacher, Breeding Teacher, History of the World & Pokemon Teacher,Technology & Science Teacher and finally Gym Teacher.

【 Sophia slowly trudged around the enormous auditorium just packed full of other students and even teachers. She knew the school year was going to be great fun, but really, this whole part right here was kind of scary for her. She took a seat way in the back side, getting super comfy in the really nice and soft seat. She just wanted to fall asleep, but than that would make her look bad had anyone actually seen her trying to pull that off. She'd probably be watched all the time in class, and forced to sit in the front. So she made certain to keep her eyes peeled open and to not allow that to happen. She sat boredly, swinging her legs around relentlessly and waited for everyone to finishing there speeches.
Sophia only hoped that this would go by in the blink of an eye, speech's weren't really her thing to be honest. She waited patiently even still, and made sure to pay close attention to what was going on in case there would be something she had needed to know for this school year. All the getting lost around the school yard was really what tired her out though, she'd have to try her very best to keep looking awake. She began to play with her hair, twirling it around in her fingers, and than smoothing it all back down. It would soon be the beginning of school, and she actually did not feel prepared now that it was here. She was beginning to feel a little nervous. 】 ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬（ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ）▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ じ☆

INDENT遠海 Altais was just about ready to shout at the trainer, not really sure this was very nice, when the lights began dimming, and a beam of red light hit him. Altais had been returned to his pokeball by Izumi, who would scold him later on being polite and not playing pranks. Izumi paid close attention to the start of the ceremony, though his mind was still buzzing with a bit of annoyance at the Bagon.

INDENT合戦Virgil had calmly walked from his room to the auditorium, standing behind the curtain while awaiting his turn to speak. The activity of the children excited him. Then the lights dimmed and Antinio gave his speech, using what he could only describe as an unlucky boy as a part of it. Virgil approached the podium, taking a firm stance and scanning the entire room, looking at each child, evaluating their posture and pokemon. "Welcome again to Ordell Academy. I am the Battle Instructor, Virgil Aesculus. Our first year here will be a new experience for all of us present, but one that none of us will forget." He stepped from behind the podium, and instead of using the microphone, projected his voice well enough as if he could speak clearly through a hurricane."As a part of my class this year, I can assure that each one of my students will be able to learn how to adapt to changing scenarios and care for their pokemon as more than pets. They will become your partners. Trainers in battle do more than issue commands, they are a part of that fighting spirit, working in tandem with their pokemon to come to victory. That same fighting spirit is your will to succeed, and I can see each and every one of you bears the mark of that spirit. That willingness to work hard and strive to go higher. Let this be the first year you step up and grab your wings to fly. Soar above the clouds, and make yourselves proud to be who you are." Virgil would bow, wait the right amount of time for any applause, then head to his assigned seat on the stage and wait for the rest of the ceremony. His only hope now was that the donors were similarly inspired by his speech as the children would likely have been.
