Gym Leader Academy: Ride of the Valkyries (Open)

“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. GLA has had a long history of producing these top of the line students, each learning about the usual schooling, but on top of that a top-grade training program in the ways of Pokemon, from Breeding, to training, to catching and so on, you are invite to join us for this years program, (Insert name here) you will be brought by boat to the island, where you will be shown around campus and put in your dorm, the (Blue, Green, Red or Yellow) Dorm, welcome first year student, to the Gym Leader Academy, your school for the next 5 years

“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 more than all of us” 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 “Come on, relax for now Bjorn”

Dorm: green
info: a short first year student, and once an aspiring coordinator, He gave up that dream to be come a gym leader.

"Well red students, welcome.... most of you remember your rooms, everyone else follow me" he said, leading everyone else around the building, leaving Lavar and Austen at their dorm, the one they shared, Bjorn taking the girls to their dormatories

Austen looks around, taking in all of the school.

In there room, there were two beds, each on the opposite side of each other, each side also had a desk, a dresser, and wooden floors and on each of their beds was a red jacket, matching their dorm's colour, with a note that reads "You may bring any articles to customize your rooms and rearrange them however you want, however, at year end, make sure you can put it back the way it is now, I don't want Ms. O'Brain on my case PS, keep this the red dorm secret, Red Dorm head, Mr. Wright"

"I guess it's time to set up my shop." Lavar said as he took out his records and started to play some hip hop music.

Austen walks into his room, and looks around. "Not bad." He flops down on one of the beds.

"Remember students" both Mr. Wright and Mr. Patel said to their respective dorms "The opening assembly is strating soon, please go to the stadium for the introduction of the staff" they both said

Austen starts to head to the assembly, erring his green jacket insted of his truncheon coat. "But leave now so I don't get lost."

About twenty minutes later, the majority of the student body was gathered, including Austen, Cole, Sunny, Wilma, and Lavar. The stadium easily held over a thousand people, as the student sat around

“Another year another Opening assembly….” Cole said “kind of thought one of these things was enough didn’t you?” Cole said asking Wilma

Sunny was in the crowd, quiet and quite fidgety, moving around a lot being surrounded by so many people left her uncomfortable

On the stage stood a fifth year with long flowing dark red hair and a green jacket, along with a light green shirt, a little bit baggy for his, and a pink miniskirt “Hello students” she said looking out into the crowd and in the microphone “Welcome to another year at the Gym Leader Academy, to most of you, to those of you who are new here, welcome to our fine institute. I am Flora Maple student council president” she explained “And believe me, I know what most of you are going through, from the first years and your getting to know the school and trying to fit in, to the second years and your overconfidence, the third and fourth years and your balancing of your school life and personal lives balanced and having a hard time doing it, and fifth years, the long process of applying and waiting for reactions to joining many leagues, the rejections, the acceptances, and the waits, we all have a long road ahead of us, and it isn’t going to be easy, but, as a wise man once said, nothing worth doing is ever easy” She started “But, as student council president, I will make sure, and I promise, to all of you, I will do everything in my power to make sure for all of you, this is a year you will not forget” Flora promised “As that is the position on Student Council this year, next the faculty will each introduce themselves and tell you a bit about themselves.

Duela: She sure knows how to give a speech, My eyelids fell like their ready to go to work.

Eve: Durla, Shush.

Willma:..(Those two....are quite a pair..)

Austen had fallen asleep

Lavar takes out his phone and starts searching the internet for more records.

"Listen up and listen good" Ms. O'Brain said grabbing the microphone, her stricked tone grabbing the attention of the student body "I am Ms. Aerial O'Brain, I am the head instructor here, female head instructor of the blue dorm, and your teacher of both Math and Pokemon Nutrition and Grooming" she said "We know it's the first day and you all want to get settled in, but, you will follow the rules here, and you will behave according to the rules, trouble makers will be dealt with accordingly, and currently, that means paying attention during this assembly" she said with a strict tone in her voice

The crowd fell silent over the words from Ms. O'Brain said

"....I.... I am Mrs. Lily Patel" another teacher said grabbing the microphone "I am the female head of the Green Dorm along with the teacher for English and the Basics of Pokemon Research, I am also a specialist in Grass Types if any of you would like a few pointers, and if you didn't guess, Ms. O'Brain there is the flying type specialist in our ranks"

"th.... that first one" Sunny mumbled "q...quite frightening

The sudden strictness and loud voice woke up Austin and he rube's his ear.

*The sudden loudness cause Duela to stand up straight, like a soilder*

Eve: I'm going to like Mrs O'Brian.

*Lavar thinks to himself as he puts his phone away quickly* What's up her butt?

“I am Bjorn Wright, head of the red dorm and the teacher of both History and type match ups, I am a fire specialist by the way, don’t worry, not too many years ago I was in the same seat as one of you…” Bjorn explained “I was a student here myself, so if anything is up, I know I may seem too old but I do have some idea what you are going through”

“Hello, I am Roman Patel, head of the Green dorm. I am also in charge of Pokemon Research for advance years, as 4th and 5th years know, your research period will be arriving soon, and I am also the teacher of Geography those who do not know” he explained

The white haired twenty something year old in his White Suit “Hello… I am Rozen Hewitt, for those of you who don’t know, I wasn’t a teacher here last year, and to be brutally honest, I will not be here this time next year, I am a practising gym leader from a region called Tunik, I am also the head of DICE enterprises and a financial contributor to this school. I will be working as both your Business teacher and battling instructor, as well as the head male instructor of the yellow dorm for this year”

“Odd…. What would he be doing here?” Cole thought out loud

Eve: It's a dilagible move from a practicing Gym Leader to come to a gym leader academy. *Eve's voice rang in Cole's ears, in a nice way*


Luna: *Rapid Spining to and around Rozen*
