"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!" the sound was feint, but I realised that it was my alarm, I had set it up just before going to bed last night! I woke up and got ready as fast as I could! Today was the day. I had been awaiting my whole life! Well, not my whole life, but you get the point! As I brushed my teeth and ate breakfast, I was sent off by my dad, grabbing my backpack in the process. In addition to me joining the academy, I would be moving out from the servants' quarters and living in the small rooms that they had set up for us. I said goodbye to everybody and set off for the door, that's when something ran in front of me and I tripped.
"What was that?" I thought to myself, trying to collect myself.
"E-Molga!" something said from underneath my backpack.
I picked it up from where it had landed, and underneath it was my fathers pokemon, an emolga! She jumped on me and gave me a big hug!
"Emolga, take it easy, I'm not leaving forever!" I explained to her.
"E-mol?" She said as she flew away waving goodbye!
"Goodbye to you to!" I yelled as I waved enthusiastically.
Then I ran out of the door and headed for the courtyard! A lot of the students were already piling up in front of the entrance and were all ready with their backpacks packed. Oddly enough they were divided, boys and girls, so I decided to go with it and stood beside a boy probably my age.
"Hey, what's your name?" I said with a friendly voice, just to see the boy turn around and head the opposite way.
"What a rude guy!" I thought to myself. Suddenly the headmaster had taken the stage, and everyone quit talking!
He looked joyful, as if he had no worries in the whole, wide world. But the pokemon beside him, even though it had a nice expression, looked like it could take out any opponent, no matter how strong they were!
"Greetings, my new students! I am the headmaster and this is my garchomp, Chompy!" He said, making the big pokemon blush.
"This year is going to be your first of many, and I wish that you will have a most pleasant year! Now, let's get on with the ceremony, this is how it will go down. I will call your names one after another, and you will go into the rooms behind me to test your ranking level, when you are done, you will go stand on this side of the stage and wait for further instructions!" he said, pointing to an open area on his right. "Richard Parks!" The headmaster called, and a tiny boy walked nervously into the room, he came out after a while and looked genuinely satisfied.
"What rank did he get? What would mine be? What if it was a low one?" I was broken out of my thoughts by the headmaster's voice.
"Aaron Auditore!" He said loudly.
My heart started beating as fast as a beedrill's wings as I headed for the stage, the headmaster nodded his head at me when I passed him, surely to reassure me. I nodded back and entered the room...
