Let's get this show on the road! But before that, a quick note:

- Sign up -> http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=67933

- I'm going to split my posts in halves, one half will be about a student at GRIT, the other about a student at SNOB. DO NOT GET CONFUSED!!! Please remember which of your characters attend which school.

- Even if your character joined the school in September, you've all known or heard of each other for at least two terms! This RPG begins at the start of the summer term! No introductions, you all know each other!

Let's roll!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Alura
GRIT Student Housing (Mixed)
7:32

'Beep. Beep. Beep beep. Beep beep beep. BEEEPBEEEPBEEEPBEEEEEEEEEEPPP!!!!!!!'

I groaned softly as I rolled over to hit the snooze button on my alarm. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes before looking around blearily to try and remember where I was.

Oh yeah. GRIT. School.

I suddenly felt something next to me in my bed moving about. I shot out of my bed and ripped off the covers to find Pip and his Pichu, Fuzz.

'Piiiii-iiip! Why did you crawl into my bed again? You even had Fuzz with you this time!' I moaned as I shook him awake. Pip sat up and look straight ahead.

'I had to go back to Veilstone' Pip announced. His moody expression said it all.

'Well, alright then. Come on, get up. I've got to go wake the others. Go find Anya.' I sent Pip to go and look for the boarding house matron before opening my bedroom door. When Pip was out of sight, I quickly admired the plaque on my door. Head girl's room. I couldn't believe it. I was like a freakin' goody-two shoes! I laughed softly and shook my head before heading into the student's dorms to wake them up. I threw the first door open. The girls' dorm.

'Get up!' I gently shook each girl awake. 'C'mon, get dressed! It's first day of school and the head wants to see us!' I walked to the door before turning back to them one last time. 'You better be up by the time I get back. C'mon, shoot!'

I walked confidently down the hall to the boys' dorm and rapped my knuckles on the door.

'Wake up! It's 7:35am! I don't wanna know what you're doing in there, but you better get dressed! The head wants to see us at 8:00am! I'll blast you with a flamthrower if you're not there!' I threatened before wandering back to my room and getting dressed. I then went downstairs and outside and began to walk to the head's house.

-------------------------------------------------------------

L'wren Witchburn
SNOB Auditorium
8:00am

I strolled along the shell-studded path to the auditorium. I smiled to myself as I watched my fellow students clear the way for me. I inhaled the sea breeze as I slowly made my way along the path. It didn't matter if I was late to First Day of Term Assembly. They couldn't start without me.

As soon as I walked through the glass doors leading to the auditorium, everybody turned around and stared at me. I smiled and nodded to my peers before I took my seat next to my friends, who were waving excitedly at me.

'Welcome back, students!' Mrs. Marvil's voice boomed throughout the glass auditorium. 'I have a very important announcement to make, that some of you may already be aware of!'

I frowned. Something was off. Nobody had told me about an important announcement. I was the President of the Student Council! Wasn't that enough! I leaned forward, nodding, as if I knew what Mrs. Marvil was about to announce.

'Ten years have passed. It's summer. It is time for the Rivalry Revival Tournament!' Mrs Marvil beamed, obviously expecting a round of applause or something similar. Instead, students exchanged confused looks. Mrs Marvil sighed.

'The pokemon battling tournament? Between our school and GRIT?' Mrs Marvil emphasized the word 'grit'. A collective gasp ran through the auditorium. I, however, could not make any noise. I gripped my plush chair and dug my nails into it, trying to relieve the hatred inside me that was building up. I suddenly unleashed it with a hiss.

'WHAT!?' I hissed, seething. Why would our-our prestigious establishment-want to battle with-that-that-place!? Mrs Marvil, oblivious to the uproar, continued happily.

'To sign up for the tournament, please see L'wren Witchburn, our Student Council President, for more information and to sign up! Thank you!! You have fifteen minutes until lessons! You are dismissed!' And with that, Mrs Marvil left the stage.
 
Dante was up with a groan, as she hit the bed above her when she got up too sharply. Grumbling as she awoke with a sharp headache, Dante got out of bed and took off her pajamas (which were black female boxers with red skulls and a oversized black shirt) and grabbed her clothes and quickly dressed up. Once done, she grabbed her makeup and hung a small on the wall, and then was crowded by fellow women who wanted a touch up. "Use your own damn mirror!" Dante yelled, shooing them away frim her mirror, then put on her face.
 
Joseph and Joshua Antonimous
GRIT Boys Dorm
7.32 AM


Joe groaned as he raised his head from his pillow. “Fuck…“ he muttered, noticing his brothers bed was empty. “That only means…” A loud, grunting snore came from under his bed sheets. Josh had decided to share.

“Josh, wake up!” whispered Joe, nudging him in the ribs.

Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin
SNOB Auditorium
8.00 AM


After hearing the announcement, Kaoru looked excited.

“Lets go sign up, Hikaru-chan!” he said excitedly, tugging on his brothers arm.

“Maybe we should wait a minute…” Hikaru replied wearily, nodding towards L’wren. She looked livid, her whole demeanour hidden under the menace... and spit.

“Don’t worry, I got it.” said Kaoru, pulling Hikaru closer to her. Then, when they were within earshot, he put his head on his brothers shoulder.

“K-Kaoru.” said Hikaru, catching on at once. “Why, whatever is the matter?”

“Oh Hikaru,” signed Kaoru “I had another dream last night. About… about us.” A group of girls behind them looked on in excitement. They loved it when they did this.

“Well, Kaoru,” said Hikaru quietly, taking hold of his brothers chin and moving his face directly in front of his own. “It doesn’t have to be a dream…”

The group of girls squealed in delight as the two brothers lips moved closer together, not sure weather their relationship was a taboo or down right sexy.
 
SNOB


Joanna leaned forward from the row of seats behind L'wren and spoke. "Yo prez! Count me in for this! Finally we will get a chance to show those GRIT noobs what it means to be taken to school."
 
Kenton Kagimoto
GRIT Boys Dorm
7:32 AM


A loud knock on the door awoke Kenton with a start. He sat up, suddenly wide awake. "Wha- oh..." he sighed. Kent had been having a nightmare, and was in shivers. He shook his head, letting his long hair flow freely.

"-- I don't wanna know what you're doing in there, but you better get dressed! The head wants to see us at 8:00am! I'll blast you with a flamthrower if you're not there!"

"I'll be out in a minute, Alura!" Kent yelled back. Shaking himself awake again, he stood up and got out of bed. Stumbling to his drawers, he gathered his usual outfit and started to slip it on. After that, he headed out the door, nodding to Joe and Josh before going to see the head of the school.
 
Jamie Owens
GRIT Boy's Dormitory


Jamie got out of bed, still half asleep, and sighed. Why the heck did she have to wake them up so early?! It wasn't like it took them that long to get ready. Well, not him anyway. He got dressed silently, and after making sure his hat was on straight, made his way to the head's house.

Louise Martins
SNOB auditorium


Louise smiled. This sounded fun. She hadn't really had a challenge in a while, and it would give her chance to test out some of her new strategies. She stood up from her seat in the first row, and walked over to where L'Wren was sitting.

"Can you tell me more about the Rivalry Revival?" Louise asked. "Do you know exactly how challenging it will be?"
 
Yuuki GRIT

'Get up!'...

*snore*...I suddenly feel someone shaking me awake, and I groan and wipe my eyes from the last remains of sleep. "Dammit," she grumbled, now full awake. 'C'mon, get dressed! It's first day of school and the head wants to see us!' Alura announced, already leaving after she had said it.

I suddenly get up, my feet dragging on the floor and to the bathroom, which was kind of ocupied to say the least. I suddenly feel a bump on my foot, and look down to see that Fangs, my Electrike, had bumped into me, waging his tail happily, barking too.

"No, it's not a good morning," I muttered, almost knowing that's what he meant, already changing into my everyday clothes. When I was done, I just pull my loose hair into a tight ponytail, and adjust the laces of my converse. "Now to go and see the Head" I mumbled, walking out of the dorm, Fangs now in my arms.

Delia SNOB

The reaction from L'wrn was priceless. I looked up from my phone when she suddenly screamed, and already knew that the Rivalry Revival Tournament this year was going to be interesting. I wonder if Yuuki already knows about this, I though, but suddenly brushed it away. "Come on Darla. Let's go and comfort our President," she said bluntly.

Before I could go though, I noticed a group of girls crowding over to what seem like...Hikari and Kaoru showing their "brotherly love." I deadpanned, since I had to put up with those two for the whole autumn (?) semester, and shouted, "go get a room!," before I headed towards my destination. "Those two can be so...active," I told Darla nonchalantly.

"Lo," Darla, my Lopunny, responded in the same tone, and followed me to where L'wrn was. I knew some of the students wouldn't approach her for what happend, but that didn't stop me. "Hello President. Do you mind if I sign up for the Tournament?" I ask innocently, Darly trying to hide her snicker.

OOC: I hope this was good

Terra wasn't even slightly agitated by the loud awakening--perhaps because she had already been up. She smirked at her pokemon and asked, "How long before that one wakes up?" She motioned towards a snoring blonde, "After all, she's a bit new."

Deciding she was already bored with waiting on the new girl, she pulled her pokemon into their balls and placed her hand on Demon. It was his turn to remain out.

Cracking her knuckles, she walked out with a confident arch in her back. She was enjoying her time here. While she had no idea why the Head would need to see them, she liked any and everyone at the school so long as they didn't bug her about her past or insulted her pokemon. Even if she could act like... she hated them. She just got impatient.

Like now. She knew they'd all have to arrive before she could find out more. New term? Big deal. They were a school of criminals, thieves, or kids with a rough life. A fresh start was great but not necessarily something to celebrate.
 
S.N.O.B.
Clair and Stacy sat dumbstruck, this could not be happening. Why would they want to get all filthy with those immature rascals from G.R.I.T.? Still, it seemed like an opportunity to once and for all show that S.N.O.B. was superior, which everybody already knew anyway.

They slowly approach L'wren who was absolutely lived, she was taking this even worse than they were. "Um, L'wren, can you just put us down as interested please?" asked Clair, the more intelligent of the two, not that being more intelligent than Stacy was saying much, she got by on looks alone.
 
Once Dante was done with the touch-ups and dressing up, she went down stairs, looking at Yuki as she walked down stairs. More specifically, Yuki's butt. Because Dante is a "fence-sitter", she likes flowers just as much as sausages, catch my drift.
 
Sammy
G.R.I.T. Dormatory


Sammy was in a deep sleep. He was lying straight on his back and snoring. There was a small bump visible underneath his sheets, and the area surrounding it was wet. It was located probably between his legs...

Suddenly, a knock on his door woke him up from a very pleasant dream. He looked towards his clock and found that it was time for him to get up. Slowing rising up from his bed, he decided to take a look under his sheets, and closed it immediately after he found what was under it. His cheeks flustered with embarrassment.

Finally, he got dressed, gathered his pokeballs, and left his room to head towards the headmaster's room. He said nothing, just walking with a forceful air and bearing a scowl on his face.
 
OoC: Yuukifan, if you're gonna write in first person, can you at least say who you are? Thanks :)
BTW everyone, when it comes to lessons, just make up what you're doing, cuz it doesn't really matter. I can't put us all in the same class because we're all different ages so just freestyle!

L'wren Witchburn
SNOB Auditorium
8:09am


Suddenly, a swarm of questions flew at me. I felt dizzy. This couldn't be happening. I chanted my mantra in my head a few times. It was the only thing that could calm me down when I was furious.

Perfect, perfect, perfect.

I then turned around with a huge, sickly-sweet, grin on my face.

'Of course you may all sign up!' I simpered. I whipped out my Pokegear from my bag and quickly took note of all the students taking part.

Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin. The twincest freaks. I wrinkled my nose. They were almost as bad as those-those-freaks-at G.R.I.T.

Joanna Greenbacks. The pirate freak that we all still have to be nice to because her family has attended Saint Nido's for generations.

Louise Martins. The knowledge kid. At least we have some good battlers on our team.

Delia Clearwater. Otherwise known as the Mad Hacker. A total computer nerd.

Rebecca Woods. One of my cheerleaders. At least she feels what I'm going through right now. She wouldn't be in my squad otherwise.

Finally, Clair Neft and Stacey Clement. The lesbo-freaks, but at least they had some respect for me right now.

And finally, myself. It didn't matter if we had totally brainless battlers, L'wren Witchburn was all they needed.

'Well, well! I see you've finished! Well, then! Students who have signed up for the Rivalry Revival Tournament, please go to the Pokemon Center in Porta Vista after your first lesson! You must scan the pokemon you are using in the tournament!' Mrs Marvil suddenly appeared next to me, before tottering off again.

I sighed before stalking out of the auditorium. When I got outside, I inhaled the sea breeze air, rolled back my shoulders, and made my way to my first lesson.

Alura
The Head's House (GRIT)
8:01am


'Well, now that you're all here, I'll start.' Ms. Rivera spoke with a thick Spanish accent as she stood up and began pacing slowly around the entrance hallway of her house. The whole school had been re-done last year as a thank-you-gift from Professor Ivy for looking after the pokemon at her lab when she was away in the Kanto region. Now every building in the school looked like a beach house. The sun poured in from every angle and the sea was sparkling in the distance. It was strange. Now that the place looked good, barely anybody but angry newcomers tried to trash the school.

'Remember last year when Professor Ivy redid the whole school? As a thank you gift?' Ms. Rivera stopped pacing and gazed out the window.

'Yeah, for feeding her funny-coloured pokemon!' Pip added. Ms. Rivera chuckled, and ruffled the butter-coloured curls that rested on Pip's head.

'There's another reason why she renovated the school.' Ms. Rivera stopped smiling and now looked deathly serious. 'It's been ten years. It's the summer.' Ms. Rivera looked everyone of us in the eye.

'It's time.'

I racked my brain. Did I know what that meant? Wait, yes, I did. Oh no. I hoped it wasn't what I thought it wa-

'It's the Rivalry Revival Tournament. Against SNOB!' Ms. Rivera spat angrily. 'They say it's friendly competition, but we all know that's a lie!' Ms. Rivera laughed a bitter laugh. 'Everyone must take part. We cannot let them win this decade. You must register in the Pokemon Center after first lesson! Now, go! I must think' Ms. Rivera began to stare out of the window again.

I made my way towards the gym, as my first lesson was sport. Which pokemon would I use? Which pokemon were the others using? Would I use all one type? Or different? But I was only good with certain types...I shook my head, trying to clear my head. I'd take out my anger in the gym.

Rebecca Woods
S.N.O.B Auditorium
8:08

Rebecca had been a bit late arriving at the Auditorium, she had slept in but she didn't know why since she went to bed early. Rebecca had just signed up at the last minute before L'wren had left.

"This could be interesting" Rebecca said to herself after she had signed up. She might consider catching a new Pokemon but her Absol should be good enough as well as the rest of her Pokemon aside Minun and Plusle who were mostly for the cheerleadering squad.

Speaking of which L'wren may been the head cheerleader and Rebecca was a cheerleader herself who could do good splits, but she didn't like the head cheerleader the way she seemed to treat her boyfriend and everyone else just didn't have her rubbing her way, although Rebecca treated her like everyone else because she liked being a cheerleader. It was weird she wasn't like L'wren or the other cheerleaders but it probably had to do with the 7th grade.

Snapping out of her little trance she grabbed her bag and pulled out a paper to see what she was doing next.

"Hm Drama, my favorite" Rebecca said to herself.
 
SNOB


Joanna sighed. I wanted to stay and watch the boys make out but I also like my 1st period class. When Air raid started pecking on my ear showing that he wanted to go, I decided that it was time to leave.

After waving goodbye to my fellow SNOB's, I head for the hallway. Once I reach the Art room, I sit down and set up some paper and a dish of water colors.

"Ok, go nuts." Pidgey hopped off of my shoulder and started making footprints with the paints.
 
Joseph and Joshua Antonimous

After listening to what sounded like “blah blah blah” to them, Joe and Josh walked of to Music. Once there, Josh began to play the piano while Joe sang. The last alone time they’ll probably get for the next two weeks.

Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin

Upon entering Art, Hikaru and Kaoru noticed one of the girls that were watching them earlier. They took the palette next to her, and began their painting, all the while Kaoru’s head was on Hikaru’s shoulder.
 
Stacy Clement and Clair Neft
SNOB


The two girls looked at their timetables, physics first, not one of their favourite subjects. From Stacy's point of view, it wasn't quite so bad, the teacher was an absolute babe but he was male so Clair didn't get to enjoy the view as much. They were learning about something called a "quark", all the girls could make out was that it was in some way fundamental to physics. Why would they be teaching fundamentals at such a late stage.

((OOC: for those that don't know, the girls are completely misunderstanding whats going on, if you actually want to know about quarks (which i'm sure you don't), PM me))

At the conclusion of the class, both girls started to head towards the town, hoping the GRIT kids would be registering at a different time.


((OOC: do the SNOB kids already know the names of the GRIT kids and visa versa?))
 
OOC: Probably not.

L'wren Witchburn
9:17am

English Lit. had taken ages to pass by. I spent most of the lesson doodling in my notebook. As soon as the bell had rung, I gathered my books and made my way to the Pokemon Center in Porta Vista. I sighed as the town came into view. It was going to be such a waste of time showing GRIT that SNOB was naturally better than them. I saw the lesbo-freaks up ahead, which suddenly gave me an idea. Why do this by myself? J.P would help me get through this pathetic excuse of a tournament. Suddenly, I felt somebody hug me from behind and whisper in my ear.

'Hey' J.P whispered before I turned around to kiss him.

'Where'd you go? I was waiting for you outside the English block and then I saw you go in the opposi-' J.P began before I cut him off.

'J.P? You didn't tell me I look pretty.' I pouted. It was the first thing that came out of his mouth when he saw me. It might have seemed pathetic to everyone else, but they were just jealous.

'Um, you look pretty?' J.P tried, but the moment was off. I rolled my eyes as I practically dragged him into the Pokemon Centre.

'Anyways, why're we here?' J.P quickly tried to change the subject.

'EhmaGawd, it was awful. Mrs Marvil's put me in charge of this toe-dally gross pokemon battling tournament between Saint Nido's and-and-GRIT!' I groaned.

'Oh, you mean the Rivalry Revival Tournament? Cool, I'm joining, my family's participated in it for generations, it's like this thing where-' J.P began before I cut him off again.

'You knew?!' I hissed.

'Um, yeah. I thought you knew too. Your family's been here for generations too so I didn't think it'd be a problem' J.P smiled sunnily at me.

'Problem? There's no problem! Who said there was a problem! Exactly! So let's go register our pokemon!' I said quickly as I practically dragged J.P again over to Nurse Joy.

'Hello! Welcome to the Porta Vista Pokemon Centre! How may I help you?' Nurse Joy smiled sunnily. I grit my teeth. Why was everyone but me happy right now?

'We'd like to register for the Rivalry Revival Tournament, please' I informed Nurse Joy with a slight edge to my voice.

'So would I' A voice added. I turned around to see who the voice belonged to.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Alura
9:17am

After sports had ended, I changed back into my everyday clothes and walked into town. Ms. Rivera had told us to register at the Pokemon Centre, and I wanted to get there before anyone else from GRIT so I wouldn't look irresponsible. Being good was hard! But it was the way things had to be unless I wanted to live on the streets again.

On the way to Porta Vista, I began to imagine the competition. Was SNOB very selective in who they chose? It was ten people per school, and there were loads of students there, so it had to be pretty hard to choose. Unless none of them had any battling skills. That was what we had plenty in. Did they actually have any tough pokemon? Or just pokemon that looked pretty. I suddenly found myself outside the Pokemon Centre. I wondered if there would be any people from SNOB inside. Who was I kidding, the people at SNOB probably had five Pokemon Centres!

'We'd like to register for the Rivalry Revival Tournament, please' A platinum blonde with several expensive-looking bracelets, a designer handbag and a preppy-looking boyfriend on her arm spoke to Nurse Joy snootily.

'So would I' I told Nurse Joy. Blondie whipped around to get a good look at me. I raised an eyebrow mockingly at her as I walked over to the counter. I watched, amused, waiting for Blondie's next move.
 
Rebecca Woods
9:17am

Rebecca had gone through drama pretty much writing things down as the teacher had instructed them to do, it was just written today but hoped they would do practical soon. Once the lesson was over Rebecca headed down to the Pokemon center so she could register. She knew she was entering Dragonair and Absol, but she may have to evolve Torchic and Eevee if she wanted to be stronger, she would make that decision though when it came to it.

She stood behind L'wren and JP and someone else she didn't know who it was. They must have been from Grit. Rebecca noticed L'wren's and the other one standoff.

"I would like to register too" Rebecca spoke up to Nurse Joy. She glanced at JP for a moment and felt in a way sorry for him having a demanding girlfriend like L'wren. She turned back to look at the nurse
 
"'Ey, don't forget me." Dante said, walking to Nurse Joy. She nodded to Alura while walking to L'wren and bumped her aside with her butt. She doesn't hate SNOB per say, thinking it's just school rivalry gone a bit far, but they annoy the hell out of her.
 
L'wren stumbled back and gasped.

'You did nawt just do that!' L'wren gasped and glared at the other two girls. 'Of course, what else what would we expect from people who go to GRIT?' L'wren literally lifted her nose into the air with an air of snobbiness. 'Now, if you don't mind, we were here first, and we're going to sign up first' L'wren informed the girls slowly, as if they were preschoolers. She looked back at J.P and Rebecca for support.

'Whatever, Blondie, Pip's been keeping guard here since 9am.' Alura smirked at L'wren before looking down, to find Pip was sitting underneath the counter, unnoticed for fifteen minutes. L'wren jumped back and screamed.

'Nice one, Pip. You registered your pokemon yet?' Alura ruffled Pip's hair before lifting him up onto the counter.

'Yup' Pip nodded. 'Have you?'

Alura shook her head. 'Not yet. I'm choosing.' Alura turned to Dante.

'You go ahead. I'm still deciding'
