.....So....how can I start this. Well for those of you that have read Dragon's Roar then I welcome you back and for those that didn't well I still welcome you to this new story that is the sequel to Dragon's Roar.
If some of you took notice a few months ago about a story called Pokemon Academy: Dragon's Roar that kept getting updated once every weeks (or two weeks or months depending on how big the block was) then you might've been curious as to why it was so popular.
Pokemon Academy is basically just that the adventures of a group of kids at a Pokemon academy the thing that sets it apart is something that makes the story very complex. The story begins in Elemental Academy which is part of an island archipelago located somewhere in between the four main regions while also being an academy surrounded by mystery.
The other thing that sets this fic apart from what you'd expect in an academy fic is Chigon a fakemon...and if you're still reading this after reading the word fakemon I can reassure you that you don't have to worry about a super powerful Pokemon that no one can defeat and that has no weakness, Chigon is basically a Pokemon that was unique to the archipelago thousands of years ago and that our main character Reggie found one day during his first year. Chigon holds a great power that is seek by many a power that could destroy the world and Reggie has to protect it along with his friends.
That's basically the plot of Dragon's Roar...but we're taking a different turn here. Instead of being super ultra action packed SYR will be a fic constructed by various ideas that I didn't get to use back in the first fic and it'll be a way for new readers to get into the story while I work out the main plot that doesn't mean it won't have action of course.
If you want to read the first installment of this series the link will be here: http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f244/pokemon-academy-dragons-roar-ended-70624/
If you want to take the shortcut you can always visit the atlas. at the moment it only has a quick summary and character information but it will be updated with arcs and an explanation to Chigon.
Since I finished the story before the previous awards I didn't get a chance to put up the new awards I got so I'll do it here.
Also if you'd like to be tag every time there's an update then I'll add you to the list.

So I hope you guys liked it and that you point anything you'd like now that you've gone through it. If you're a new reader then I'd like to welcome you and I hope to see you reading this story again soon.
Also special thanks to Miloticgirl McQueen for letting me borrow Stacy and to Sovereign for letting me use the basics of his character Lucien from the Treebloome Academy RP to create Freed I'm using Lucien's last name as an honor.
And I'll also like to thank Thundagere for beta reading and Instrutilus for the banner.

DESCRIPTION OF CHIGON EVOLUTIONS:
Chigon: Chigon looks like a puppy with a dragon like tail. It has two dragon like wings that protrude from its sides and on its forehead is a red triangle.
Alagon: A medium sized dragon that is much larger than Chigon and stands on all fours. Its backside is covered by red armor that goes all down its tail and the underside is covered in white scales. Its nose is long with fangs and long whiskers as well as blue horns on its head along with a yellow jewel in the center of its chest.
Pangon: About twice as big as Alagon, Pangon also stands on all fours. Its body and legs are covered in yellow armor while its head is covered by a golden helmet. Between the armor on its body and legs, one can see yellow fur, likewise its neck is covered by a yellow mane along with the already present armor.Two blade like objects protrude from its sides and the end of the tail is a spiked ball object. Most notable about it is that unlike the others it does not have wings.
Plesiogon:It looks like a plesiosaurus covered in aqua blue armor from head to body. Parts of it not covered by the armor reveal its navy colored skin. It has fangs protruding from its mouth and its eyes are yellow with large pupils.
Rosegon:Rosegon is around the same size as Alagon except thinner and with green eyes. It is completely covered in green scales with a long neck that has a flower shaped helmet covering it. Its body has vines wrapped around it and on its back is a large pink flower.
Pyrgon: This one is special as it evolves from Alagon rather than Chigon. Unlike Alagon it stands on two legs and has actual arms. Its whole body is covered by a fiery red armor. It wings are longer than Alagon's and are crimson in color, and its tail is longer as well. On its forehead is a V shaped crest and its chest armor that goes all the way to the shoulders has a diamond like crest in the middle.
Cielgon: Cielgon the true evolution of Chigon is a bipedal dragon. The whole body is covered in white armor minus its white scaled feet, claws, and mouth. Its eyes are blue in color and on its forehead is a red triangle just like chigon. Its wings are large and feathery like an angels.

Prologue Number 1
Pokémon Academy Year II: Second Year Rhapsody
Prologue: Old and New Faces
The sun was shining down upon the Academy Archipelago as a flock of Wingull and Pelliper started flying around the surrounding areas.
The Academy Archipelago. An area known for holding one of the most prestigious academies in the world, also known as Elemental Academy, an academy for young Pokémon Trainers or Coordinators to polish their skills and become better. Also of the Top Three, a selected group of academies that are known for being the best in the world.
Various ships were approaching the archipelago, coming from all regions and filled with students as well as teachers that were now ready to start the new school year. Inside one of the ships was a tall, long blue haired woman around 28 years of age. She had a slightly tanned skin along with a pair of blue colored eyes that matched the ocean water she had been entranced by. She certainly lived up to her age with her having long legs that matched perfectly with her alluring figure.
She moved back slowly and took a quick breath of the fresh island air. “Hmmm, a beautiful island paradise is something I’ve always enjoyed. And the fact I’m going to be working and living here just makes it better,” she said as a cheerful smile crossed her face.
“I did hear the academy just had a change in principal, no one knows what happened to the last one though,” she scratched her chin suspiciously before she heard some gurgling and coughing noises from a few meters from where she was standing. “What’s that?”
She deadpanned as she saw a teenager leaning against the rail and looking down at the sea. Of course this would’ve passed off as normal if it wasn’t due to all the vomiting that he was doing. The woman frowned before turning around and covering her eyes. “Would you stop doing that!” she exclaimed; causing the teenager to turn to look at her; thankfully he was clean when he did.
“Sorry about that.” The woman turned back around finally being able to detail the young man’s feature. He had long brown hair that went down to his neck and covered his right eye; giving him a calm yet shy look; this detracted people from his blue eyes, which matched the woman’s own. He was rather short for his age; were it not for the academy’s limit of age fifteen for first years she would’ve thought that he was fourteen years old or younger due to both his height and facial features.
Frankly speaking, as a teacher she could pretty much define the type of person the kid was already. Probably one of those shy guys that are in the corner; of course, that didn’t mean she couldn’t help. “Oh, I’m sorry if I yelled, it’s just that…” she winced before looking back at the teenager. “Anyway, are you feeling better?”
“Yeah. It’s just that I ate too much so it kind of came bac…I’ll stop talking now,” the teenager nodded his head, embarrassed, before shaking it. “Sorry, my name’s Reggie Damon. I’m pleased to meet you.” He held out his right hand towards Stacy
“My name’s Stacy Lewis, same here,” Stacy smiled as she shook his right hand before letting go. “Are you a returning student or are you just starting?” she asked curiously; mostly because she wanted to confirm how old he was.
“I’m a second year starting today. So by that I can tell that you’re a new teacher, right,” he pointed out with a smile on his face. Even if he gave off a weird vibe at first there was still something soothing and calm about him.
“Yeah, I just got hired a few months ago so I’m really nervous,” Stacy chuckled nervously as she tried to hide her nervousness. “I hope I’m liked.”
“Oh I’m sure you will Ms. Lewis…it is Ms. Right?” Reggie asked; not wanting to make the wrong assumption.
“Yeah. I’m too young to get married anyway,” Stacy pointed out while waving her hand around. “Well, so far you don’t seem like a bad type so I hope the rest of the academy acts like you.”
“Things can get hectic at times but they get solved pretty easily,” Reggie pointed out; though he had a more serious look on his face this time. Though Stacy didn’t know and probably couldn’t even imagine it Reggie had been in the middle of the events that went on in the academy last year—their fight against their own principal that had caused the academy to turn to chaos. Of course, these had been kept secret from the general public and instead it was reported that some bad trainers had entered the academy and that the principal resigned after they were gone.
Charles Goodwin…that was the name of the man that had given and taken so much from Reggie all for his own selfish goals. “Hey, is there something you’re not telling me or that I need to know?” Reggie was brought back to the real world as he looked at Stacy’s questioning expression.
“Well I…”
“Chi!” Reggie turned to look at the door that led into the ship. Suddenly the doors burst open and a small white creature flew by. Having noticed the blur Stacy quickly moved away only for Reggie to get struck on the face by the white blur. “Hey, are you okay!?” Stacy jolted back up only to notice what was really going on.
“This is one of the things you should know about,” Reggie groaned. Licking his face was a small puppy-like dragon Pokémon. However, it was a completely different Pokémon from any Stacy had ever seen, it was covered in white fur and had a trianglular head along with a pair of blue eyes. It had a short tail and four legs as well as a blue diamond mark right beneath its eyes and a pair of wings.
“What the fuck is that?” Stacy demanded, without minding her language as Reggie got the puppy/dragon Pokémon to sit on his shoulder.
“This is Chigon,” Reggie replied while pointing at Chigon who just smiled back at Stacy. “And let’s just say he’s a special Pokémon of mine.” Reggie looked into his pocket before taking out a small rectangle device and holding it up. The device didn’t have any buttons aside from a small black button at the bottom; the rest was simply a screen along with a camera on the back. “This is the Academy Dex, by the way. It’s like a special version of a Pokédex and it’s the only thing that has any data on Chigon,” Reggie raised the device and pointed the camera at Chigon while letting Stacy see the screen.
The screen suddenly lit up as a picture of Chigon appeared along with various notes about its size, weight, habitat and attacks. One thing that popped out was the description paragraph that appeared. “This Pokemon has been labeled as the Sacred Dragon Pokemon and it is an extinct species that lived thousands of years ago in an ancient civilization known as the Dragonic Archipelago.” She muttered while reading the information. “I never heard about anything like that.”
“Well, it’s a long story actually,” Reggie chuckled nervously before looking up at Chigon and petting him. “Let’s just say this guy is special.”
“I’ll say,” Stacy nodded her head before smiling. “He’s really cute though.” She stuck her hand out and petted Chigon softly who in turn smile and purred at the softness of her hand. “Hey, I think it likes me.”
“If he didn’t then I’d have to worry about you,” Reggie chuckled; though Stacy didn’t exactly understand what he was referring to. She was still confused and suspicious but it was probably for the better if she didn’t meddle too much on the subject; though she would ask the principal about this matter as soon as she met him.
“So there you went. Don’t run off like that man.” Reggie and Stacy turned around to look at another teenager that was walking out to the deck. He seemed to be around 16 or 17 years of age and was as tall as Stacy; leaving Reggie behind by a couple of inches. He had messy crimson colored hair that covered part of his forehead but left his pale blue eyes visible to the world. He also had slightly tanned skin and at the time was wearing a black figure hugging t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans.
“Friend of yours?” Stacy asked as she turned back to Reggie.
“You were looking for me, Fin?” Reggie asked while raising an eyebrow.
“Of course I did, one minute you were eating next to me and the next you’re god knows where,” Fin replied before eying Stacy, Reggie just sighed; knowing what was gonna happen next. “Oh. Sorry about that, I hadn’t seen you before,” Fin apologized while smiling at Stacy. “My name’s Fin Wave. It’s nice to meet you,” he said slyly while holding his right hand out.
“Your name’s Fa…” Before Reggie could finish the sentence Fin had already smacked him upside the head. “Just saying,” he groaned; noticing that Stacy was eying the two voice with a look of confusion now.
“Nice to meet you. My name’s Stacy Lewis and I will be teaching in this academy from this moment on,” Stacy replied with a soft giggle. Fin seemed to be a bit taken aback at first before a grin flashed on his face.
“Wow really? I mean by your looks I thought you’d be a student or something,” Fin pointed out; causing Stacy to giggle again.
“That’s really nice of you to say but there’s no way I could be a student at this point,” Stacy shook her head before looking over at the horizon. She gasped as she saw a large castle like building on the far edge of the island. The castle had two long hallways on each side that stretched over to the steps that connected the docks to the entrance of the school.
Along with the hall ways there were various quads set up inside the school grounds and two other buildings connected to the castle by a transparent bridge.
“Wow…” Fin muttered as he looked at the academy with amazed eyes. “They sure did a lot of remodeling over the summer, didn’t they.” Reggie nodded his head but didn’t so much as utter a word as he looked at the academy building. It was much bigger from last years and it definitely had a lot more space now compared to only occupying a small portion of the island the year before.
“I can’t believe I’m actually going to teach here,” Stacy gasped before noticing all of the other ships that were approaching the docks as well.
“Maybe Miko’s in one of them,” Fin pointed out; causing Reggie to frown and look at him. “What you know you’re happy to see her again,” he laughed as Reggie tried to hide the blush on his face.
“Shut up.” Reggie looked down at the water. Miko had been the girl he had first met at the academy and the first person to talk to him, period. Even though he liked her and the two had kissed once the year before he still didn’t want to address the issue and he knew that she didn’t want to either. “It’s best if we just act like that never happened.”
“Oh a juicy story,” Stacy muttered to herself before smiling. “Anyway I should worry about my own problems for the moment.”
“So it’s finally time to start our second year isn’t buddy,” Reggie petted Chigon’s head softly; causing the Pokemon to close its eyes and smile. “I wonder what the future will bring for us this time though.” He said as he looked at the academy building with determination reflecting in his eyes.

Having noticed the blur Stacy quickly moved away only for Reggie to get struck on the face by the white blur. “Hey, are you okay!?” Stacy jolted back up only to notice what was really going on.
“This is one of the things you should know about,” Reggie groaned. Licking his face was a small puppy-like dragon Pokémon. However, it was a completely different Pokémon from any Stacy had ever seen, it was covered in white fur and had a trianglular head along with a pair of blue eyes. It had a short tail and four legs as well as a blue diamond mark right beneath its eyes and a pair of wings.
“What the fuck is that?” Stacy demanded, without minding her language as Reggie got the puppy/dragon Pokémon to sit on his shoulder.
“This is Chigon,” Reggie replied while pointing at Chigon who just smiled back at Stacy. “And let’s just say he’s a special Pokémon of mine.” Reggie looked into his pocket before taking out a small rectangle device and holding it up. The device didn’t have any buttons aside from a small black button at the bottom; the rest was simply a screen along with a camera on the back. “This is the Academy Dex, by the way. It’s like a special version of a Pokédex and it’s the only thing that has any data on Chigon,” Reggie raised the device and pointed the camera at Chigon while letting Stacy see the screen.
The screen suddenly lit up as a picture of Chigon appeared along with various notes about its size, weight, habitat and attacks. One thing that popped out was the description paragraph that appeared. “This Pokemon has been labeled as the Sacred Dragon Pokemon and it is an extinct species that lived thousands of years ago in an ancient civilization known as the Dragonic Archipelago.” She muttered while reading the information. “I never heard about anything like that.”
“Well, it’s a long story actually,” Reggie chuckled nervously before looking up at Chigon and petting him. “Let’s just say this guy is special.”
“I’ll say,” Stacy nodded her head before smiling. “He’s really cute though.” She stuck her hand out and petted Chigon softly who in turn smile and purred at the softness of her hand. “Hey, I think it likes me.”
“If he didn’t then I’d have to worry about you,” Reggie chuckled; though Stacy didn’t exactly understand what he was referring to. She was still confused and suspicious but it was probably for the better if she didn’t meddle too much on the subject; though she would ask the principal about this matter as soon as she met him.
“So there you went. Don’t run off like that man.” Reggie and Stacy turned around to look at another teenager that was walking out to the deck. He seemed to be around 16 or 17 years of age and was as tall as Stacy; leaving Reggie behind by a couple of inches. He had messy crimson colored hair that covered part of his forehead but left his pale blue eyes visible to the world. He also had slightly tanned skin and at the time was wearing a black figure hugging t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans.
“Friend of yours?” Stacy asked as she turned back to Reggie.
“You were looking for me, Fin?” Reggie asked while raising an eyebrow.
“Of course I did, one minute you were eating next to me and the next you’re god knows where,” Fin replied before eying Stacy, Reggie just sighed; knowing what was gonna happen next. “Oh. Sorry about that, I hadn’t seen you before,” Fin apologized while smiling at Stacy. “My name’s Fin Wave. It’s nice to meet you,” he said slyly while holding his right hand out.
“Your name’s Fa…” Before Reggie could finish the sentence Fin had already smacked him upside the head. “Just saying,” he groaned; noticing that Stacy was eying the two voice with a look of confusion now.
“Nice to meet you. My name’s Stacy Lewis and I will be teaching in this academy from this moment on,” Stacy replied with a soft giggle. Fin seemed to be a bit taken aback at first before a grin flashed on his face.
“Wow really? I mean by your looks I thought you’d be a student or something,” Fin pointed out; causing Stacy to giggle again.
“That’s really nice of you to say but there’s no way I could be a student at this point,” Stacy shook her head before looking over at the horizon. She gasped as she saw a large castle like building on the far edge of the island. The castle had two long hallways on each side that stretched over to the steps that connected the docks to the entrance of the school.
Along with the hall ways there were various quads set up inside the school grounds and two other buildings connected to the castle by a transparent bridge.
“Wow…” Fin muttered as he looked at the academy with amazed eyes. “They sure did a lot of remodeling over the summer, didn’t they.” Reggie nodded his head but didn’t so much as utter a word as he looked at the academy building. It was much bigger from last years and it definitely had a lot more space now compared to only occupying a small portion of the island the year before.
“I can’t believe I’m actually going to teach here,” Stacy gasped before noticing all of the other ships that were approaching the docks as well.
“Maybe Miko’s in one of them,” Fin pointed out; causing Reggie to frown and look at him. “What you know you’re happy to see her again,” he laughed as Reggie tried to hide the blush on his face.
“Shut up.” Reggie looked down at the water. Miko had been the girl he had first met at the academy and the first person to talk to him, period. Even though he liked her and the two had kissed once the year before he still didn’t want to address the issue and he knew that she didn’t want to either. “It’s best if we just act like that never happened.”
“Oh a juicy story,” Stacy muttered to herself before smiling. “Anyway I should worry about my own problems for the moment.”
“So it’s finally time to start our second year isn’t buddy,” Reggie petted Chigon’s head softly; causing the Pokemon to close its eyes and smile. “I wonder what the future will bring for us this time though.” He said as he looked at the academy building with determination reflecting in his eyes.
End of Prologue 1
Next Time: A Welcoming Dinner You Can’t Forget
Prologue Number 2
Prologue 2: Welcome to the Academy
Reggie and Fin were being led through the flight of steps that ended in the school building’s gate. Reggie looked around as he tried to not collide with any other students. There was barely any space left and if one didn’t watch out they would trip and take down everyone below them. “Chi,” Reggie looked up to see Chigon flying above them; the small dragon never liked to be in a line so it was no surprise.
“The academy sure looks different, doesn’t it,” Fin pointed out as he stood next to Reggie. He was right though, the academy was even bigger now and it took up a lot more space. Reggie looked over to the sides, noticing that there were long tubes connecting to the castle from all sides. As he followed the tubes he noticed that they led to the five corners of the island.
The dorms of the academy had been remodeled as well and just like the building they had a lot more space now. Reggie couldn’t help but gasp as he looked at the tall red one toward the left corner. The Charizard Flame dorm, the dorm that he belonged to and a place that he could consider a second home. “Will you have a roommate this year? I heard that Jordan isn’t coming back.” Reggie turned around to look at Fin.
Jordan was Reggie’s roommate the year before and while the two had some friction due to difference in personalities, he was still a good friend. Unfortunately, Jordan decided that he wouldn’t be coming back due to him wanting to become stronger. This was mostly due to the fact that he was an spectator the year before when the others had to defend the academy.
“I don’t know, I’m still shocked. I mean, the only thing he sent me was an email saying that he was going to travel instead,” Reggie sighed before noticing that he and Fin had reached the entrance to the gate. Reggie stared at the tall golden gate; letting the other students pass him by. “Yeah, even the gate looks amazing, kind of wonder where Brendan got all this from.”
“The school has a lot of funds, and he was champion of Hoenn, but still,” Reggie gulped, feeling a little bit nervous. Now that he thought about it, why wouldn’t he be nervous? He was a second year, meaning people were expecting more of him now and he couldn’t let himself lose especially after everyone started seeing him as a hero from last year. “I don’t think I feel confident anymore.” Fin gasped as he saw Reggie sulking on a corner.
“Hey, cheer up, I’m sure everything will be fine,” Fin chuckled nervously while ruffling the back of his head. “You don’t have to be a the kind of guy that people expect to be good,” Fin replied while patting Reggie’s shoulder. “Just be you.”
“Oh, come on. Of course people are gonna look up to us! Or at least to you. I don’t want anyone to look up to me,” Reggie frowned as Chigon sat on top of his head.
“Wow. I could hear your whining a mile away.” Reggie’s head went up towards the direction of the voice, his eyes quickly turning into a look of nostalgia and relieve. A girl was walking over to them, her long brown hair waving around as she walked.
She had a pair of brown colored eyes and white skin, complimented by long slender legs and nice hips. She was wearing a short sleeved black shirt along with a jean styled mini skirt. “Miko,” Reggie muttered as he watched the first friend he ever made in the academy walk over.
“Why are you so surprise. Thought I wasn’t coming back?” Miko grinned as she waved at both Fin and Reggie. “I can’t do that. You’ll be getting depressed in a corner for life just like you’re doing now.” Fin tried hard not to laugh after that comment; of course this also got him a frown from Reggie.
“That’s not guaranteed,” Reggie ruffled the back of his head while blushing with embarrassment. “Anyway. I’m glad to see you Miko,” Reggie smiled as he and Miko looked at each other’s eyes; causing a powerful feeling of nervousness well up inside Reggie’s stomach.
“Awww. You look so cute together.” Reggie turned around only to have a pair of arms wrapped around his neck. He could feel a small metallic object against his chest before noticing that it was a digital camera. “You missed me cuz,” the girl let go of Reggie before smiling. She had long black colored hair along with a pair of blue eyes that matched with Reggie’s. She was wearing a long sleeved black sweater along with a black mini skirt. When it came to height she was about the same size as Reggie; though if Reggie didn’t start growing he would probably be left behind.
“Valerie, I was wondering where you were coming from,” Reggie turned around to look at his cousin Valerie. Valerie, like Fin was a member of the Blastoise Aqua dorm as well as being a part of Reggie’s group. One of the things the bothered him though was her unusual ways to show her care towards him.
“That doesn’t matter. What matters is that I’m here,” Valerie beamed before hugging Reggie once more; causing him to blush slightly as he noticed Fin and Miko chuckling. “While I want to keep teasing you like this I think it would be better if we entered the building already,” Valerie pointed out; noticing that most of the students had already walked inside.
“Jack, Marie, and Darren must’ve passed by while we were distracted,” Fin turned to the gates and began to walk over. “The welcoming speech will be at the auditorium. And considering that we don’t know our way around the new building, I don’t think it’ll be wise to lose the group of students,” he explained before he started running inside.
Reggie looked up at the gates with expectation and nervousness in his face. Once he went through those gates, his second year would start, whether it’d turn out as chaotic as the last or if it’d be peaceful would all depend on how he made his choices once more. “Chi!” he looked down; only to see an impatient Chigon biting softly at his ankle as encouragement for him to enter.
“All right buddy I get it,” Reggie laughed softly before looking at both Miko and Valerie. He couldn’t think anymore; instead he only needed to walk straight forward and wait for what could happened.
***
Reggie looked around the auditorium in curiosity. Aside from the stage he couldn’t really see anything due to the sea of people that was covering his view. He looked at Miko who was sitting next to him. “You look nervous. How come?” she asked after noticing that Reggie had been staring at her.
“It’s just that. Well you know last year was such a disaster and I just want this year to be normal,” Reggie pointed out as he looked down at the floor. “Sure I did a lot last year with battling against Zivok and Charles but I'd rather have a normal second year.”
“I think we both agree on that, buddy,” Miko smiled before putting her foot in front of Reggie’s.
“Chi,” came the voice of an annoyed Chigon as it waited for them to let him out from under the seat.
“Sorry Chigon but Pokémon aren’t allowed in here,” Miko whispered softly; making the Pokémon pout before it retreated to its hiding place. Reggie rolled his eyes at Chigon’s actions. Sometimes he just couldn’t understand why the dragon Pokémon didn’t even want to be in a Pokéball.
“Guess he’s still giving you trouble isn’t he?” Reggie raised his head before turning his head half around to look at the person that had spoken to him. “Yo,” Reggie smiled as he saw a familiar violet hair wave around along with the pair of green colored eyes that met his directly.
“Marie it’s you,” Reggie smiled as Marie gave him a peace sign while smiling. Miko looked back at Marie before shifting to Reggie. For Reggie to react like that would mean that he was still caught up in his crush from last year. Miko frowned as she put her hands on the arms of the chair to try and calm down. She didn’t dislike Marie; at least not anymore; but she wasn’t too accustomed to the fact of Reggie still being hypnotized by her.
“Yeah. I was looking for you guys by the docks but there were so many people that I wasn’t even able to find my way here,” she heard Marie respond with a bit of a cutesy tone. “After I finally saw you guys you had already entered the auditorium. I had to throw some people aside too just to get this seat,” she laughed making Reggie chuckle slightly before the room was thrown into complete darkness; causing the students to look over at the stage once it became the only source of light in the room.
“Testing. Testing,” Reggie looked up at the man that was now standing atop the stage, his black colored hair that reached his neck and almost covered his ruby colored eyes waving around while he tested the microphone. “I think that’s good enough,” he smiled before realizing that everyone heard what he was saying now.
“For starters I’d like to welcome you all to Elemental Academy. For those of you that are returning then I’m glad that you came back and I hope you can help the new group. For those of you that came in this year then I’d just like to say welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay,” he spoke with a relaxed and unbothered tone; causing the atmosphere in the room to soften and for the students to pay full attention to him. “Oh. I just realized I didn’t tell you who I am. For those of you that don’t know.” He turned around before kneeling down and grabbing a suitcase next to the podium. After he opened the suitcase he took out a white colored beanie with a Pokéball mark in the front. “My name is Brendan Birch and I’ll be your principal starting this year,” Brendan smiled as he put the beanie on; causing the crowd to gasp.
Reggie looked around the room. It was easy to recognize those that were just starting due to their reaction. After all, no one would expect an ex-Hoenn champion to be teaching in an academy, especially someone as famous as Brendan. “Some of you may know me as the ex-champion of the Hoenn League a few years back, but from now on I’ll be your principal, meaning you have to treat me with respect. Of course, I’ll also be supportive if you feel like you want to talk then feel free to tell me anything you want. After all, my heart’s an open book and the door to my office will always be opened.” He replied calmly as he put his hands on the place where the heart was supposed to be.
“Now let’s leave all the depressing stuff aside and become a little bit more cheerful,” Brendan smiled before clicking his fingers; causing the lights to be turned on once more. “I’d just like to say that these years we have more than just first year students. We’ve also got a new set of three teachers to replace last year’s biology teacher, Mr. Fuse, as well as Mrs. Agatha Shadow who retired, and of course myself since I was promoted from Battling class teacher to principal late last year,” Brendan explained before turning to his left where all the teachers started walking in.
Reggie was able to recognize all of the teachers from last year that hadn’t left. Among these were Mr. Grayson, a large muscular brown haired man who was his battling teacher the year before and was probably teaching him again now that Brendan was principal. Next to Grayson was a tall blond haired woman wearing a long sleeved purple jacket along with a purple skirt. She had a pair of round glasses and green colored eyes.
“I’d like to introduce Mr. Grayson and Ms. Rose to the new first years Mr. Grayson will be the battling teachers for those in first year while Ms. Rose will keep her spot as Coordination teacher,” Brendan explained. Reggie looked over towards Mr. Grayson who seemed to grumble at the fact that he was still stuck teaching the less knowledgeable first years.
“He looks mad,” Miko pointed out while scratching the back of her head. “It seems like the summer didn’t do a good job in calming him down.” She then turned back around so that she could see the two other teachers that were now walking into the stage.
The first one was a man wearing a long sleeved lab coat with a green turtle neck sweater under it. The man had a white almost pale colored skin along with a pair of round colored glasses. Reggie noticed that the man seemed to be a bit nervous about standing in front of a crowd.
The woman next to him had long colored red hair that went down to her waist; though by the way she frowned whenever the hair got onto her face could show that she didn’t like it being so long. She had a pair of hazel eyes and was wearing a white colored jacket with a pocket. The jacket itself only reached the top of her midriff allowing people to see her firm stomach; she was also wearing a pair of short shorts to show her legs.
Reggie and Miko looked around; noticing that a lot of the male students were already gawking at the sight of what the teacher was wearing. Reggie in turn couldn’t help but blush a little, with Rose, Stacy and now that other teacher second year might turn out to be really fun; of course he couldn’t actually say that out loud. “You like her too don’t you?” Miko asked with a deadpan causing Reggie to stutter in embarrassment.
“For those of you that have already been here Professor Leroy is already known. However considering your reactions I guess you’ve already noticed that the lovely woman standing next to him is new,” Brendan said while grabbing the MIC as if he was in some kind of game show. “I’d like to present you to Taisha Jenkins from this year on she’ll be the new PE teacher,” Brendan explained before making another signal.
“Wow, looks like things are going to heat up…literally,” Fin pointed out from his seat while grinning mischievously.
Finally, three more teachers walked into the stage. Fin and Reggie instantly raised their head as they recognized Stacy standing in the left corner with two other male teachers right next to her. “She looks pretty too,” Miko pointed out while Reggie tried to hide the fact that he agreed.
The man standing to Stacy’s right had regally paled skin along with long black curly hair that went down to his shoulders. He had a pair of crimson colored eyes that could be seen due to the two spirals he had formed from his hair. He was wearing a long sleeved black open-chested shirt with laces strung together across the chest. He also wore a pair of tight black pants that hid his tall black boots.
The other man had long red hair that went down to his neck. He was wearing a long sleeved red button jacket with golden buttons. He also wore a pair of tight white jean and black moccasins.
Reggie eyed the man with curiosity. For some reason it felt as if he had seen the red haired man before, though he couldn’t figure out where or when. “Well, at least we can get some eye candy too this year,” Miko and Marie both chuckled; making Reggie and Fin roll their eyes. “Oh, stop it with the double standard,” Miko frowned in annoyance.
“Wow, there really are a lot of students." muttered with a little nervousness in her voice. It was her first time teaching in such a large school and while she had obtained great marks whens he became a teacher she was still worried that it wouldn’t be enough for one of the best academies in the world.
“Don’t be nervous,” she turned to look at the man wearing the black shirt. “Frankly, I feel delighted with this turn of events.” he spoke calmly and slyly as he looked around. “With all these students it just means the more pupils we’ll get to teach. Just remember that it doesn’t matter what you teach but how you teach them,” he explained before noticing that a smile had now crossed Stacy’s face.
‘Thanks,” Stacy smiled. “What’s your name?” she asked causing the man to point over to Brendan.
“I’d like to introduce our three new teachers starting from this year,” Brendan extended his right arm so that the students could look at the three young teachers. “Stacy Lewis will be our new Biology Teacher and head of the Blastoise Aqua dorm!” he announced, making Stacy’s eyes widened at the thought of having to take care of a whole dorm.
“Am I lucky or what?” Fin chuckled form his seat. With Stacy as the guide of his dorm he pretty much had it made for the rest of the year. “I think I am.”
“Then we have Siegfreed Vairmourne who will be the new head of the Houndoom Dark dorm!” Brendan announced; signaling for Siegfreed to adjust the neck of his shirt.
“And the last teacher is Kevin Blaze and he will be our new Charizard Flame head!” Reggie and Miko both raised their heads at the sight of their new dorm head who began waving at the group of students.
“Looks like things really are going to be different this year huh?” Miko pointed out while looking at Reggie and Chigon.
“Yeah it really is,” Reggie nodded his head in agreement as the lights of the auditorium turned back on.

The woman next to him had long colored red hair that went down to her waist; though by the way she frowned whenever the hair got onto her face could show that she didn’t like it being so long. She had a pair of hazel eyes and was wearing a white colored jacket with a pocket. The jacket itself only reached the top of her midriff allowing people to see her firm stomach; she was also wearing a pair of short shorts to show her legs.
Reggie and Miko looked around; noticing that a lot of the male students were already gawking at the sight of what the teacher was wearing. Reggie in turn couldn’t help but blush a little, with Rose, Stacy and now that other teacher second year might turn out to be really fun; of course he couldn’t actually say that out loud. “You like her too don’t you?” Miko asked with a deadpan causing Reggie to stutter in embarrassment.
“For those of you that have already been here Professor Leroy is already known. However considering your reactions I guess you’ve already noticed that the lovely woman standing next to him is new,” Brendan said while grabbing the MIC as if he was in some kind of game show. “I’d like to present you to Taisha Jenkins from this year on she’ll be the new PE teacher,” Brendan explained before making another signal.
“Wow, looks like things are going to heat up…literally,” Fin pointed out from his seat while grinning mischievously.
Finally, three more teachers walked into the stage. Fin and Reggie instantly raised their head as they recognized Stacy standing in the left corner with two other male teachers right next to her. “She looks pretty too,” Miko pointed out while Reggie tried to hide the fact that he agreed.
The man standing to Stacy’s right had regally paled skin along with long black curly hair that went down to his shoulders. He had a pair of crimson colored eyes that could be seen due to the two spirals he had formed from his hair. He was wearing a long sleeved black open-chested shirt with laces strung together across the chest. He also wore a pair of tight black pants that hid his tall black boots.
The other man had long red hair that went down to his neck. He was wearing a long sleeved red button jacket with golden buttons. He also wore a pair of tight white jean and black moccasins.
Reggie eyed the man with curiosity. For some reason it felt as if he had seen the red haired man before, though he couldn’t figure out where or when. “Well, at least we can get some eye candy too this year,” Miko and Marie both chuckled; making Reggie and Fin roll their eyes. “Oh, stop it with the double standard,” Miko frowned in annoyance.
“Wow, there really are a lot of students." muttered with a little nervousness in her voice. It was her first time teaching in such a large school and while she had obtained great marks whens he became a teacher she was still worried that it wouldn’t be enough for one of the best academies in the world.
“Don’t be nervous,” she turned to look at the man wearing the black shirt. “Frankly, I feel delighted with this turn of events.” he spoke calmly and slyly as he looked around. “With all these students it just means the more pupils we’ll get to teach. Just remember that it doesn’t matter what you teach but how you teach them,” he explained before noticing that a smile had now crossed Stacy’s face.
‘Thanks,” Stacy smiled. “What’s your name?” she asked causing the man to point over to Brendan.
“I’d like to introduce our three new teachers starting from this year,” Brendan extended his right arm so that the students could look at the three young teachers. “Stacy Lewis will be our new Biology Teacher and head of the Blastoise Aqua dorm!” he announced, making Stacy’s eyes widened at the thought of having to take care of a whole dorm.
“Am I lucky or what?” Fin chuckled form his seat. With Stacy as the guide of his dorm he pretty much had it made for the rest of the year. “I think I am.”
“Then we have Siegfreed Vairmourne who will be the new head of the Houndoom Dark dorm!” Brendan announced; signaling for Siegfreed to adjust the neck of his shirt.
“And the last teacher is Kevin Blaze and he will be our new Charizard Flame head!” Reggie and Miko both raised their heads at the sight of their new dorm head who began waving at the group of students.
“Looks like things really are going to be different this year huh?” Miko pointed out while looking at Reggie and Chigon.
“Yeah it really is,” Reggie nodded his head in agreement as the lights of the auditorium turned back on.
