“Students of Gym Leader academy, we are on our final approach to Orchid Island, please be ready to leave the boat once we dock and head for the clearly, the teachers will be waiting for you to help you get accustom to your dorms” the captain said as the island came into view. The small beach, open field, the small shopping center, the deep woods, the dormitories and the towering school all came into view, all the building seemed fairly close together
The students were reminded of the note they received before their journey in land:
Welcome, to Orchid Island of the Orange Island. This island isn't famous for it's towns, not famous for it's beaches, Pokemon or fruit. But this island is famous for producing one thing, some of the worlds best and brightest gym leaders.

“Again…. Another year another batch of students, hopefully they perform better than last year” Ms. O’Brain, the head instructer said out loud to the faculty of the school, she was wearing a light blue blouse and a long, blue skirt, with long Blond hair tied up in a ponytail, and blue eyes, being covered by glasses
“I do not know what you are talking about, last year’s graduates have actually been doing really well in their respected regions as gym leaders, and some are moving into other fields too” Mr. Hewitt retorted, wearing his white suit, and light blue tie, having short, white organized hair despite his age of mid 20s
“Rozen, you haven’t ever taught a day in…” Mr. Wright started, this year changing his suit in for a flame designed shirt with dress pants, him having short, brown hair and brown eyes.
“Sh, don’t make him angry Bjorn” Mr. Patel silenced, still having his blue sports jacket, green undershirt and short blond hair “His company is the school’s biggest financial contributor, plus he is a teacher too you know, you saw his credentials too, besides, he’s only going to be teaching for one year”
“Ya, a year too long” Bjorn retorted
“Come on, he is a head gym leader himself, he is still a practicing gym leader, and you do know that provides with that” Mr. Patel explained
“Hey I was a practicing gym leader!” Mr. Wright argued
“Ya… for two years, you are a great teacher Bjorn, but you have to realize that like it or not, he does have a level of real world experience in the field that you lack” he reasoned
“Ya…. But why did he decide this year to take part huh? Why not last, why not next?” Wright asked
Patel just gave an unsure shrug as the students boat ported “Maybe he’s looking to replace an old gym leader? Anyway, the boat is here, get ready to say high to your reds… this year, we greens are going to out do you again… especially if their head spends his whole time whining over some new teacher”
