Time flew by, and before they knew it, the students of HeroHaven Academy were donning their distinctive uniforms. Eagerly, they made their way to the nearby underground metro system, embarking on a journey toward the highly anticipated opening ceremony.

Among the bustling crowd, Enji and Akio's paths converged at the station. In unison, they embarked on the final stretch of their journey, brimming with excitement. The assembly area was teeming with Pokémon, a sea of first-year students who had gathered in anticipation. Meanwhile, the older students - second, third, and fourth years - had already begun their classes and were acquainted with their new homeroom instructors.

A voice suddenly echoed from the speakers, "Hello? Is this on?" A hush swept over the crowd. Realizing the mic was live, the voice chuckled, "Ah, it is! Excellent." Moments later, the curtain gracefully pulled back, revealing twenty-one Pokémon. Amidst them all, a Venusaur, prominently positioned at the microphone in the center of the podium, captured everyone's attention.

"Welcome, students, to the inaugural ceremony of HeroHaven Academy!" the Venusaur began with enthusiasm. "My name is Kaede Haruki, captain of Division One. Our agenda for this week is straightforward. We'll be assessing which of the three courses suits you best - general education, tech support, or the heroes' path." Murmurs filled the air as students whispered to one another.

The Venusaur paused, allowing the whispers to rise, before clearing her throat for attention. "To help with this process," she continued, "I'll be enlisting the expertise of my fellow captains." As if on cue, the other twenty Pokémon took a step forward, each introducing themselves in sequential order.

"Akatokage Tenryu, Captain of Division Two!" A Charizard roared into the mic.

"Aokame Furugai of Division Three!" A Blastoise boomed with authority.

"Kasumi Inishie, Division Four's Captain," a Hisuian Zoroark remarked with a sly tone.

"Toshin Tyumaryoku, leading Division Five," a Samurott said, his voice gentle and commanding.

"Division Six's, Toa Gekitai," a Wyrdeer announced confidently.

"Osorana Shusenchi of Division Seven," intoned a Wishiwashi, as his Lieutenant held his fishbowl aloft.

"Kohime Hokuakari, Division Eight," a Frosslass whispered mischievously.

"Yukari Mamoriya, Ninth Division's Captain," a Mawile melodiously sang.

"Shinkuto Keiretsu, Division Ten," a Kingambit declared with pride.

"Division Eleven's Takumi Geijutsuka," a Meowstic proclaimed, voice filled with pride.

"Miyazuru Kamujin of Division Twelve," a Seviper hissed cryptically.

"Willy Milkman, Thirteenth Division," a Magnezone lamented.

"Kogane Ryokuko, Fourteenth Division's chief," a sunglasses-clad Krookodile said, dripping with swagger.

"Hakiri Mamoriya, Fifteenth Division," a Sceptile chirped adorably, flashing a peace sign.

"Atsushi Daihara, Sixteenth's lead," a Snorlax intoned, punctuated with a yawn.

"Ketsushu Shouran of Division Seventeen," a Greninja muttered, voice tinged with sleepiness.

"Bertah Kakebaka, Eighteenth Division," an Armaldo declared, flashing his golden teeth.

"Kinsei Kusariho, Nineteenth Division," a mighty Kommo-o declared.

"Konomi Mamoriya of the Twentieth," a Lopunny purred, sending a wink to the crowd.

"Goko Amahono, Twenty-First Division's Captain!" an Infernape thundered with zeal.
