"You are now part of Team School, a se-"

"MR KAPLAN! STOP TELLING THAT STUPID STORY!" A red haired woman shouted as she walked into the room. She wore a white skirt, and a lime green top. She smiled at the brunet girl in the room.

"Hi! You must be Kate. I'm Mrs April. I'm going to be your teacher for the rest of your time here!" Mrs April said, while glaring at Mr Kaplan before ushering the brunet out the door.

"C'ya Mr Kaplan!" Kate shouted back.

She led her into the main school building, and towards a door.

"You just wait out here. I'll call you when I want you to come in."

"Ok!" The brunet answered excitedly. Kate had been looking forward to this moment since the Ranger School accepted her application. Of course, she missed her family and friends, but she would see them soon enough. Her older brother and sister had both graduated from here two years ago and three years ago, respectively. She hadn't really talked to her sister about it much, but her brother wouldn't stop talking about it.

"Come on in!" She heard Mrs April shout.

Rhythmi's POV

Mrs April walked into the room.

"Good morning everyone! Do you remember how I told you about the new student? Well, she arrived here today all the way from Fiore!" Mrs April said, smiling.

"Now I expect you to be kind and welcoming to her. Also, Keith, please let her sit down before annoying her."

"Whats her name? Is she cute? Does she look like a celebrity? Or does she have braces?" The girl next to me, Sarah, asked. She was so annoying sometimes...

"Well, you'll have to find out for yourself. Come on in!" Mrs April shouted out.

The door opened and a brunet girl walked in. Her hair was in pigtails, and she had brown eyes. She walked up to the front of the room.

"Introduce yourself." Mrs April said to her. I noticed Keith had a big grin on his face. I could see that Mrs April had noticed as well.

"Well, um... I'm Kate, and I came here from Fiore. And I'm gonna be a Pokèmon Ranger!" She said with a smile.

"Great. How long did it take you to capture that Pikachu? An hour? Two hours?" Keith said with a smirk. I wanted to strangle him sometimes...

"Keith." Mrs April glared at him.

"About ten seconds for your information, Red." Kate said.

We all looked to Mrs April.

"It's true." Mrs April said, smiling.

Hold on...

"Doesn't that make it a record?" I asked.

"It does. Well, lets get started. Kate, could you please sit down now next to Keith?"

"Is that Red?" She asked Mrs April.

"Umm... Yes." Mrs April said, chuckling.

"Yipee." Kate said sarcastically.

"Aww, come on, I'm not that bad am I?" Keith said.

Lucky Kate. Her first day, and she gets to sit next to the most annoying boy this school has ever had. And somehow, I'm friends with him. Mrs April started giving one of her famous lectures to Kate about the school styler.

Keith yawned.

"I'm doing it again aren't I? Sorry Kate, I accidentally gave you a lecture didn't I? I do that sometimes." Mrs April explained.

"Ok, today is a free-study class. Instead of studying though, Rhythmi, could you please show Kate around the school?" She continued.

"Oki-doki!" I said.

"Ok class, I'll be in the staff room if you need anything." Mrs April said while walking out. As soon as she left, we started talking.

Kate POV

"Hi! I'm Kellyn! I hope Mrs April wasn't too boring for you. Her classes are usually fun." The guy who sat next to Keith said. He was about my height, and he had brown hair and brown eyes as well. Before I got to say hi, a certain red-head started talking loudly.

"You were just lucky. I bet if we had a competition later, you wouldn't be so good."

"Well, your... Just stupid!" Keith laughed at my failed attempt of a comeback.

"Come on Kate, we better get going." Rhythmi said, pulling my arm and dragging me out the doorway.

"I'll take you to Mr Kinaid's classroom first. Do not strike a match in there, theres so much hairspray in the room it'll all catch fire." Rhythmi said. I laughed.

"No, it's true."

We walked in, and all I could smell was hair spray.

"Hello, Mr Kinaid. This is our new student, Kate. I'm showing her around the school." Rhythmi said to the teacher.

He had blond hair, with a huge curl sticking out, and his smile... Wasn't a happy one... It was more of a forced one. I knew I wouldn't like him straight away.

"Hello Kate. Please remember not to run in the corridors and do not blame without proof. Goodbye." He said, telling us to go away without actually saying it. Only after we had left the classroom we spoke.

"Wow. That's a lot of hairspray." I said, laughing.

Later that day...

"So that's the whole school, apart from Ascension sq-" Rhythmi was interrupted by Janice, who I had been introduced to earlier, yelling out,

"Help! The Bidoof are going crazy!"

We ran up to Janice and I got my styler out.

"Hey! New girl! How 'bout we have a race! The one who captures the most Bidoof wins!" I hadn't noticed Keith run up.

"Cool! Lets go Red!"

We did our ranger poses, then ran off to capture the most Bidoof. After about ten minutes, we had finished.

"Is that all of them?" I asked.

"Yup. You catched f-" Keith was interupted.

"CAUGHT!" Rhythmi shouted. I had the feeling that happens a lot.

"You caught four, and I caught five... SO I WIN!" Keith shouted.

"Well, you know the grounds better than Kate." Rhythmi pointed out.

"Weren't you going to show me something?" I asked Rhythmi, trying to change the subject.

"Oh yeah, Acension Square. Follow me."

"Hey, I'm coming as well!" Keith shouted out, running after us.

We ran down the stairs, and towards the monument.

"They say if you make a pledge here that it comes true." Rhythmi told me. I remembered my older brother, who had come home for the holidays, telling me about all the rangers who had made a pledge there.

A faint ding! was heard from the school.

"Theres the bell! We better get going." Keith said.

Later on...

"Come on Kate, they're waiting for us!" Rhythmi said.

"But why are they waiting for us?" I asked. I was reading a letter my sister had written to me. Apparently my family were moving to Chicole Village to be closer to me, but what if I was stationed in Fiore! They'ed be far away again!

"You'll see. Now come on!"

Kellyn and a girl were waiting.

"Hey Kate! This is Georgia!" Kellyn said loudly.

"H-Hi." She said. She had long, black hair, and green eyes.

"She's in Mr Kincaid's class."

"Lucky you." I said. Rhythmi smirked.

"She doesn't talk much. And look out when she gets a camera." Keith said from across the room. He walked over and sat down.

"We should get started before any teachers turn up." Rhythmi said.

"Get what started?" I asked.

"Your initiation. All of us have done it. You go through all the rooms, and get our stylers. You then take them down into the basement and put them outside the door. Then you come back. Oh, also the person who sits next to you in class goes with you." Kellyn explained.

"Ok, Keith, since you sit next to her, you go with her." Rhythmi said.

"Yay." I said.

"I can hear the sarcasm dripping." Rythmi laughed.

"Ok. Remember the hints Keith?" Kellyn asked.

"Yup."

"Ok, time for you guys to go." Rhythmi said, pushing us down the stairs.

We walked down to the main block. We were just about to walk around to the libary, when-

"WAH! What was that!?" Keith said jumping back. It turned out to be a Bidoof.

"Oh no! It's a really scary Bidoof!" I said, laughing at him.

"Tell anyone, and your dead."

"Keith is afraid of Bidoof!" I said, laughing even harder.

"You gonna die laughing that much you know."

"Ok, ok, I'm finished."

We went through the rooms, collecting the stylers.

When we went into the staff room, a Pichu had the styler around its neck. I tried chasing it, but it kept going underneath the desks. I looked at Keith.

"What?" He asked.

"Well, are you gonna help me?" I asked. He sighed, and we started chasing the Pichu around. We had almost trapped it, but it moved. We both jumped for it, and hit each others heads with our own.

And somehow he ended up on top of me. I felt my face go red. He quickly stood up. Even in the little light we had, I could tell he was blushing.

"S-sorry about that." He said, embarrassed.

"Lets just forget it happened." I said.

Keith stayed on the other side of the room from then on. I managed to get the styler, then we took them down to the basement and I set them out side the doorway.

"Is that all?"

"Yup. We better ge- Did you just hear that?" Keith said

"Yeah I did..." We were backing up, when four or five Ghastly appeared right in front of my face. I quickly grabbed my styler, and prepared to catch it. The one thing I didn't like about ghost types was that they keep disappearing and appearing again. Because of that, it took me about five minutes to capture them.

"2 years later..." Keith said. I just glared at him.

"WHO'S THERE!" We heard Kinaid yell.

Keith and I looked at each other, and ran.

We ran up to the dorms, and everyone cheered for me.

I yawned.

"What's the time?" I asked.

"Bedtime. Night guys." Kellyn said.

"Same here. Night." Keith said.

The two boys walked off to their room.

Isaac POV

"So, how is the experiment going?" I heard Mr Kinaid walk in the door.

"I'm still preparing for it. Who did you yell at earlier?" I replied.

"Oh nothing. Just a bunch of Zubat."

I yawned.

"You must be feeling tired. Have the rest of the night off." Mr Kinaid said. I definitely liked him better when he was being nice.

"Thanks Mr Kinaid." I said, walking out. I walked up to the dorms, hoping no one was still up.

Kate POV

A blonde boy with a mushroom haircut, who Rhythmi had introduced to me earlier as Isaac, walked in.

"What were you doing?" Rythmi asked.

"Uhh... Just... Extra studying. Yeah. Extra studying." He then ran off to his room. Georgia, Rythmi, and I looked at each other.

"Well, I think the guys had the right idea. I'm gonna go to bed." I said.

"Same." Georgia said.

"Me too." Rythmi said. We walked off to the room us three shared.

Kellyn's POV

"So, what do you think of Kate?" I asked Keith.

"She's ok, I guess. At least she can take a joke."

"Yeah." I said before yawning.

Isaac, aka Mushroom Head, walked in. He quickly walked over to his bed. For the past month he had been doing 'extra studying'. Keith and I looked at each other.

"You've been doing a lot of extra studying lately, mushroom head. You even missed out on Kate's initiation ceremony! So tell us, what have you really been doing?" Keith asked him.

"How many times do I have to tell you? Extra studying." Isaac said in an annoyed tone.

I sighed and rolled over, so I faced the wall the bunk bed was pushed against. I had to have to bottom bunk, as Keith would not leave me alone until I gave him the top bunk. He was annoying, and sometimes a bit of a jerk, but he was a pretty good friend.

Rhythmi's POV

"So, Kate, anything you want to know?" I asked her while we were getting into bed.

"Nah, I think I've got it pretty much sorted." She answered.

"Ok. I'm gonna go to sleep now. Don't you dare try and wake me up. Or you won't be waking up tomorrow." I threatened Kate.

"Don't worry, I'll be asleep soon. Night."

"Night."

Hello! Thanks for reading until the end of the chapter! Please tell me what you think in a review. Not sure what to say really... Haven't written an A/N in ages... My updates could be really close or really far apart, idk. I've just moved so everything is kinda messed up. :-/ so yeah. Also sorry about all the POV changes, I'm just still sorting everything out. Hopefully it won't be like that in the next chapters.

I'm only going to update when I get a new chapter written, so I don't leave this story to die. Reviews would be nice though :-)

So yeah :-/
