In one of the dorms, Mia

"Hey Luna, what do you want to do now?" I ask. "I'm not sure, dinner is in 2 hours." She responds. "Okay, but while we wait?" I ask. She shrugs and walks towards the couch, falling onto it. "I'm going to bed, wake me up in a little bit." She says. "Okay." I reply, walking towards my room and opening the door, entering, and closing the door behind me. I need to decorate this. I think. But how? I continue. "Elgyem, come out." I whisper, holding a pokéball in the air. A red light appears, pointing at the ground, and my pokémon comes out. "Alright, this is our bedroom for the next year." I tell it. "Gyem." It says. "So we need to decorate this area." I add. Then I walk to my closet and open it, grabbing 15$ out of a bag. "I have to go to the store real quick." I say, walking to my door and quietly opening it, making sure to close the door behind me. "Luna, I'm going to head out real quick, I'll be back soon." I say. "Okay," She replies. I exit the dorm, walking to the exit and stepping outside. Once I'm outside I notice there is another person, Lily, she is leaning against the wall, she pushes herself off with her hands and walks towards me, "Hey," She says. "Hello," I respond. "What are you doing out here?" She asks. "I have to go to the store." I answer, "And you?" I ask. "Y'know, just getting some fresh air." She answers. "Okay, have fun." I reply. "Though, can I go to the store with you?" Lily asks. "Y'know what? Sure." I answer. "Alright, thanks." She says. We both go to the store, and my phone rings, I got a text from Luna, it says: 'Help! Someone broke into school, don't come back, I'll tell you when it's safe.' I finish reading. "Lily, it's not safe to go back to the school." I tell her. "Why?" She asks. "Oh, there's an intruder." I answer. "Uh oh, I hope everyone's okay." Lily says. "I know, so do I." I respond. We don't listen to my friend's warning and we go back to school.

At school, Luna

"Well, well, well." I hear someone say, "Ms. Night," They add, "Just the one we were looking for." They finish. "How do you know who I am?" I ask. "Ceruledge, come out!" The stranger says, holding out a pokéball. They put noise canceling headphones on their pokémon, and they put some noise canceling headphones on before holding another pokéball, "Jigglypuff, come out!" They yell. "Care to show this person your fantastic singing?" They ask. Jigglypuff begins singing, I try to plug my ears, but quickly fail, losing consciousness.  

At school, Xolonalia

"Ceruledge, use Phantom Force." I say, and Cerulede opens a gateway, kinda like a portal under Luna, we enter the portal and reach the secret base, the walls are gray and there was is much color, I bring the unconscious person to a small prison like are and set them on the floor, exiting the small area and closing and locking the door behind me, I also grabbed their pokéball before leaving them. Now to wait. I think. "Ms, did you capture Luna?" Shade asks. "Yes, you did good with the distraction." I reply, complimenting Shade's skills in turning off security systems. "Thanks boss." Shade says, "I will leave now." They add. Shade walks away, heading to the center of the secret hide out. 

A few hours later, Luna

I wake up, and find myself in a strange place, it looks like a prison, the strange thing is that I didn't break the law. "Huh? Where am I?" I ask. I look around, there is nothing around me, I slowly stand up, hoping to figure out where I am. The door opens, and a new person enters, they have medium length white hair, black colored eyes, and purple ring like pupils, they are wearing a black colored dress, and light blue jeans, and white tennis shoes. "Hi, you'd be Luna, correct?" They ask. "How do you know who I am?" I hiss. "I'm Echo." They say, and toss me a pokéball. "Thanks Echo?" I ask, still slightly suspicious of this new person. "I'm getting you out of here." They respond. "Really?" I ask. "Yes." Echo answers. "Thank you!" I exclaim. Echo grabs a key from her pocket and unlocks the door, stepping to the side of the door, we both exit the small prison. "Thanks again," I say. "It's really no big deal." She tells me. "We should focus on getting out of here." I say. "Yes, we should." Echo agrees. We both begin to search for the exit, but we find nothing at all, I hear the sound of footsteps, someone walks near me, coming from a corner. "Well, well, well, trying to escape now, hm?" The person asks. "No, I'm taking her for a walk to get food and then we're going right back." Echo says. "I don't believe you." The evil person says. "Well, it's the truth." Echo says, grabbing my hand tightly so I can't run out of here. "Bring the prisoner back to their cell right now." The evil person says. "Yes boss." Echo coldly says. "I trust you can do it with no one watching you?" The evil person who I now know is the boss asks. "Yes. I can, and I will." Echo answers. "Good." The boss says before leaving me and Echo alone. "Sorry about that." She apologizes, loosening her grip on my hand. "We're almost to the exit," She adds. "Really?" I ask, excited to see my friend again. "Yes, really."  She answers. After what feels like hours of walking, we get to a staircase, Echo begins walking up the stairs, I cautiously follow her, and after a long time, we reach a door, Echo opens it, and we find ourselves in the living room of an ordinary house? We go to the door and leave the house, "I have to come with you." Echo says. "I think MsXolonalia wants me dead now." She adds. "Probably," I agree. "Well, then I trust you can get back to school on your own?" She asks. I nod, "Yep." I say. "Okay! See ya!" She exclaims, walking towards a store. I walk back to school, moving quickly, and I run into Mia on the way. "LUNA!?!?" She exclaims, "Thank goodness you're okay!" She adds. "Where were you, and why do you have scratches on your hands?" She asks. "I'm not sure," I answer. "We need to get back to school," Mia says, "We don't want to get in trouble." She adds. "I know, we need to, I also don't want to get in trouble." I agree. Suddenly, a girl who looks about my age, who has short white hair and light cyan colored eyes approaches us, "Hey," She says. "Hi?" I ask. "Are you two students at the Celestial Academy?" She asks. "Mhm." Mia says. "Cool! I'm going to be a student there!" She exclaims. "When?" I ask. "Tomorrow," She answers. "What's your name?" Mia asks. "I'm Snowball." She introduces herself. "Nice, I'm Mia, and my friend here is Luna." Mia says. "We should get to school," I say.

A little while later, at school, Snowball

"Soo, I have a dorm that I share with two other students?" I ask. "Yes, there is a 3rd bedroom in this dorm." The principle says. "Okay, noted." I reply. "Now, please leave, I have business to take care of, like increasing the security of this school," They say. "Bye," I respond, going to the dorm I'll be living in. KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK. I knock on the door. Luna opens it, "Hey Snowball?" She asks. "Hi," I reply. "It's time for dinner, so me and Mia plan to head out." Luna says. "Wanna join?" She asks. "Yea, sure-" I reply, but an announcement over the loudspeaker interrupts me: "Students will only leave their dorms for classes, food will be delivered to your dorms." The announcement says. "Well, I guess you can't go out for dinner." I say. "Unfortunately." Luna agrees, stepping away from the door so I can enter. "This place looks really nice." I say. "Thanks." Mia replies. I walk over to a closed door and open it, revealing an empty bedroom. "I'll take this room." I say. "Okay." Luna replies. 

In the dorm room, Mia

I don't trust this 'Snowball' person, she seems suspicious. I think. "Okay," I hear Luna say. "Well, I'll be adjusting to this place, talk to you later," Snowball says, entering her room and closing the door. After the door closes I walk over to Luna. "We need to talk." I tell her. "About?" She asks. "This Snowball person." I answer. "I don't trust her." I add.
