Chapter 1: Getting Accustomed

Sunday, August 21

Platina Berlitz walked the long streets of the campus of the prominent Pokemon Boarding School of the Elites. Her eyes were plastered to the numbers next to the front doors of each building. 223...224...225...

Keeping her sight to her right, she didn't notice where she was going. Her foot kicked something and her attention immediately went to the front.

An older girl with dark, twin ponytails and thick-rimmed glasses had turned her head to look back at her.

Platina quickly apologized, "I-I'm so sorry!"

The girl gave a small smile and said, "It's alright."

They continued to walk in silence. Platina noticed that she was following the girl and hoped she didn't look like a stalker. When they both turned to the same dorm labeled 250, the girl laughed.

"Hey, we're in the same dorm!" She slid her ID card into the lock and watched the light turn green. She pushed open the door and said, "I'm Crystal."

"I..." Platina started to introduce herself when arguing from inside the room interrupted her. Their attention was pulled to the two fighting girls in the living room.

"...cannot live with you for a fucking year!" A brunette with blue eyes screamed to another with a similar description. The only noticeable difference was the older one had a mature-looking body and designer clothes, while the other had a more athletic build and was wearing boy shorts and a loose T-shirt.

"Same here, bitch!" The other shouted. "I can't deal with one second of your annoying whining! Oh my gosh! He broke up with me! Can you believe that? I'm, like, the most pretty, perfect, wonderful, fabulous queen of the whole, fucking world!"

"I do not sound like that!"

"Get y—"

"Guys!" Crystal intervened in the fight. "Stop!"

The "queen" scrunched up her face. "Ugh. It's the president of the Nerd Herd."

Crystal's jaw dropped in anger. "Don't make fun of my friends!"

Platina had a mental panic attack as the three girls got in a verbal cat-fight. She had no idea how to deal with this type of situation. She decided to follow Crystal's previous example and try to stop them. "S-stop!" She ordered.

The three girls turned to look at her.

"The Queen" walked up to her, hands on her hips. "And why should we do that, first year?"

Platina took a deep breath. She gathered up her courage and straightened her back. "I am Lady Platina Berlitz and you shall do what I say."

The girl blinked her eyes at the name. "Berlitz? The richest family in Sinnoh?" She grabbed Platina's hands and gave Platina her biggest fake smile. "I'm Blue! Welcome to PBSE! I'm sure we can become best of friends!"

The other brunette rolled her eyes with a "whatever" and said, "I'm Sapphire." She grabbed her duffel bag and dragged it up the stairs to claim her room.

Crystal turned to ask Platina, "Do you have any questions about school?"

Platina brightened up. "Yes! I have never been to a school before and I was hoping you could-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Blue interrupted. She grabbed Platina's arm and dragged her to the door. "Let's go meet my friends!"

Crystal reached out and grabbed her other arm. "Stay here! I don't want you to be badly influenced by that—that tramp!"

Blue shot a glare to Crystal over Platina's head.

Platina thought quickly in hopes to avoid another catastrophe. "How about you tell me about it later, Crystal? I will probably have plenty of more questions by then!"

Blue gave a victorious wink to Crystal and pulled Platina out the room.

Crystal's face changed to one of worry and answered Platina's question though she could not hear her, "...sure."

In dorm building 150, another fight was taking place.

"Oh, look," A white-hatted lad said. "We get the troublemaker."

"Oh, look," The troublemaker mimicked him. "I get—" He looked at a tall, black-haired boy dressed in red. "—a goody-goody—" He looked at the boy with the white hat. "—a fag—" He looked at Diamond shoving doughnuts down his throat. "—and a fat-ass."

Diamond's eyes shifted and his head turned down at the name. "Goody-goody" noticed this and defended the poor first year. "Hey! Don't call people names!"

"Fag" scoffed. "I'm going to ask to transfer rooms. I can't live with this fucking guy." He grabbed his luggage and went to exit the room.

"Troublemaker" couldn't help but make another negative comment. "Are you sure you don't want to get in my pants, gay boy?"

This only encouraged him to walk faster to the door.

The boy in red glared at "Troublemaker" and he glared back in a mocking way. The boy in red then asked the white-hatted lad to wait. He stopped but did not turn around. "Let's see if this whole thing works out!"

"Y-Yeah!" Diamond spoke up from behind "Goody-goody".

The two opposing boys glared at Diamond—who flinched and hid behind "Goody-goody"—before they muttered a reluctant "fine."

"Troublemaker" dragged his stuff up the stairs and came down a few seconds later holding a billiard cue and a skateboard. "See ya losers later. I have places to go and people to meet, unlike you guys." He slammed the door on his way out.

"The nerve of that guy!" The other boy exclaimed and muttered curses while climbing up the stairs, his luggage in tow.

"Goody-goody" massaged his temples and sat on a black, leather couch in front of a television. He let out a sigh before looking up at Diamond. "Hey, I'm Red."

Diamond almost dropped his bag of snacks. "I'm Diamond."

Red laughed. "Looks like we have some troublesome roommates."

Dia let out a nervous chuckle. "Yeah..."

There was a silence.

"You're a first year?" Another voice asked.

Diamond turned around to see white-hatted guy stepping down the stairs. He nodded.

"I'm Ruby" was the reply he got from him. Ruby shuffled his feet to the couch and plopped down next to Red. "The jackass you saw is Gold. He's one of the top of the food chain. Hopefully you won't be an outcast like me. Actually...be one, so I won't be lonely."

Red punched Ruby's arm playfully. Ruby made a whining sound and dusted his arm where Red touched, complaining about wrinkling his outfit. Red politely commented that throwing himself on a couch has already wrinkled his outfit.

"...Touché."

Meanwhile in dorm building 200, another four were bonding over a game of Go Fish. They sat cross-legged on the floor in front of the television.

"So Green, you're Professor Oak's grandson? That's pretty cool." Pearl got a "hn" as a reply.

Pearl attempted to talk to the red-head next to Green. "So Silver, you're Professor Elm's part-time assistant during the summer? That's pretty cool." He got another "hn" as a reply.

Pearl sighed and decided to talk to Emerald. He looked at the short boy next to him. "So Emerald—"

"This game is pointless." Emerald cut him off.

A blonde wearing a large straw hat took a deep breath.

After countless attempts of getting accepted to the school, she had finally succeeded. It didn't matter that she was registered as a male, or was going to live in a male dorm with a bunch of males and was expected to do male things.

She fixed the hat on her head and checked if her ponytail was showing. She slid her ID card into the lock of dorm 149 and turned the doorknob. She hesitated.

She heard the sound of wheels quickly rolling on concrete behind her in the silence.

She took another deep breath, just for good luck, and opened the door.

There were two guys in front of her talking in the living room like best friends: a brunette with a blue jacket and red cap and a black-haired one with glasses. They turned to look at her.

She bowed and said in her manliest voice, "I-I'm Amarillo del Bosque Verde. Nice to meet you!"

AN: If you noticed characters as OOC, then good for you! Yeah, they're supposed to be out of character. It'll changed through the story as they develop.

Actually, I might not even finish the story. This is just something that was in my head for a long time.
