" I'm finally He-Gah!" he announced, to no one in particular, as the doors of the train slid open, it was cut short though as he went tumbling down the steps.
"Ow" He groaned, rubbing his back, before getting up, quickly looking around to see if anyone saw. What a way to make first impressions...He quickly scrambled to pick up his lugage.
He was apparently supposed to go to some Laboratory for a test of somesort. A test the minute he got there . something bout choosing what dorm he would be in. If he even was accepted into a dorm. He gulped and, chewed his lip, looking around for where he was supposed to go. Dark eyes focused on a building sign " The Labratory". Well. That was simple enough.
As he approached the doors they slid open. Cam took cautious steps in, looking around. A simple enough room. " "U-um...Hello? I-I'm Cameron Gray, here for the test?" [/blockquote]

Kaera hated train rides. They were noisy, bumpy, and loud. And rather boring- nobody on the train wanted to talk to her, it seemed, until they found out she was actually a girl, and then the only people to talk to her were some rather cocky boys who only spoke in pickup lines. The most Kaera got to say on this whole trip was "No thanks" and "Go away" although she did get the pleasure of palming an obnoxious boy in the face, giving him a nice bloody nose.
When the train came to the academy she was happy to be the only one climbing off of it, at least out of the car she was in. She saw another kid further up the train tumble out but he got up quick. Looking at the little pamphlet she was given, she picked up her things and entered the building. She looked at the map in the train station and found the little star marked 'you are here' then looked for the Laboratory- as instructed by the pamphlet- and memorized the short route. She carried her things out of the train station, down the long sidewalk through the campus of the academy, took a left and looked at the moderately sized building. Entering just ahead of her was the boy who had tumbled earlier. She followed him in, heard him ask about the test, then looked around. Were they early? Were they late? SHe wasn't sure why nobody seemed to be around, but she took her suitcase and went over to an empty chair and took a seat.

The train shuddered and swayed as it travelled along. Zane thought he was going on a boat to the Academy Island but it turned out that the boat wasn't running today and the ticket was eligible for the train. Quite a bit of luck he had there. His cart of the train was pretty empty, so he sat reading a magazine, he head would shake every now and again as the train bumped his up and down and all round on his seat. After a long trip which he was forced to endure, the train came to a shuddered stop. He rose from his seat and collected his luggage from the overhead storage. He had managed to fit most of his stuff in his lareg backpack, however he still pulled along a small case filled with clothes. As he stepped off the train, he looked along the train to see who was getting off, he saw a kid, he wa sunsure whether teh kid was a boy or girl, they had a girls figure but was wearing boys clothing. Zane knew he had a slightly feminine appearance but it wasn't too bad. He then scanned further along to see a boy literally fall out the train, landing on his back he quickly got up. Zane stepped out and saw the two teens walk in a similar direction. He didn't really know where he was himself but decided to follow the two of them. They looked reliable and seemed like they were going to the Academy aswell due to them carrying luggage. He soon arrived at the Laboratory and as he entered quickly took a seat a few seats down from the what he recognised as a girl when he walked past with a shorted distance between them. Taking a seat he waited for the examiner to call him out, or so he believed that was what should happen now.

As the three students calmly waited for their instructor to arrive, Tao was in another room, busily preparing for his new test. Tao already had natural silver hair so he only had to somehow make it look like Dante's hair without cutting it. As Tao tried damning his hair, the solution came to him in the form of a can of Hair Spray.
With that done, Tao quickly took off his black and crisp suit, and grabbing that velvety red coat before pulling it on.
"Alright, I've got the hair fixed, pans are good enough and man do I look awesome in this red coat." Tao examined himself at the mirror before fixing his face to resemble that cocky look that Dante always used for everything. Grabbing the remote controller, Tao crunched a few numbers and through his one way window, saw the three kids being shunted down a hole and landing them in a pitch black room. Crunching a few more numbers, Tao examined the room start glowing in a dark red light before the whole scene exploded into a three dimensional visual field to make the flames of hell look even more realistic.
"Those kids must be shocked." Tao sniggered as he grabbed the prop Rebellion from the handles and slung it on his shoulder. A trap door away and Tao lightly landed in a small room with a door up front. This door was unnoticeable due to amount of special effects that were in this room and so were the cameras that were recording EVERYTHING.
A loud clap eruption of flames was the cue and Tao stepped out of the door, now behind the kids. His echoing foot steps thundered across the room and made every second feel as if you were gonna die.
"So these are the new Rookies? Feh, don't look much." Tao said in his closest Dante ish voice which was damn close if you ask me before throwing three small orbs at the kids along with three index cards.
"Your test will be to survive whatever will come at you for the next five hours. How long you last determines what dorm you'll get. Try not to die."
And with a snap, the ceiling dropped several rocks into the arena. The first wave? Geodudes. Number? 10.
----------
Three pokeballs have Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur.
Index Cards are for 5 random moves they can use.
Charmander - Fire Fang, Ember, Flame Thrower, Smokescreen and Growl
Squirtle - Water Gun, Bubble, Skull Bash, Tail Whip, Hydro Pump
Bulbasaur - Leech Seed, Tackle, Razor Leaf, Growl , Seed Bomb

Cameron sat down in one of the empty chairs, soon being joined by two others. He wasn't sure whether either was a boy or girl, but he figured he might as well and try to make nice with them. " h-Hi!" he smiled as he looked over " I'm Cameron Gray, but most people just call me Cam."
It was just as he finished his introduction that the floor opened up from beneath him and swallowed him. He screamed like a little girl all the way down.
He groaned, sitting up and rubbing his head. Where were they? He couldn't see anything...He felt around the ground trying to get his bearings. He accidentally brushed up against something " Eep!" Someone " sorry.." he muttered. It was then the room lit up with flames.
Needless to say, Cameron was more than freaked out by now. He glanced around quickly looking for a way out. He became even more afraid when a man dressed in red came out. Was this a demon? Or even worse? Were they gonna die!? Cameron brought his knees to his chest, burrying his face into them, trying not to cry.
It was then he was it with something. He looked up to see with what... A pokeball? Shakily he got to his feet, releasing whatever was inside. A squirtle. He looked up as the silver haired man spoke again. " Dont die " he said.
That was reassuring...

Kaera had taken her seat and was looking around. She was about to speak up and ask Cameron his name and overall just try to be social, but then she heard the door open and looked. A MAJOR looker walked in and took a seat a few seats down from her. Kaera didn't realize she was staring for a bit then forced herself to look away, occasionally stealing glances. He had to be the cutest boy she'd seen since...since.....since ever! She fumbled with the pant areas around her knees, then fiddled with her belt- it had bunched up when she sat and wasn't too comfortable. Once everything was smoothed out she turned to Zane and was about to ask his name- genuinely interested this time- when suddenly the floor opened up under her and she found herself falling through a dark abyss.
Kaera landed hard on her ass and was abotu to groan when her suitcase finished falling, landing on her stomach. The groan turned into an 'oomf' as the air was knocked out of her lungs. She pushed the luggage off of her and rolled onto her side, hugging herself in the darkness. Sudden light caused her to open her eyes and she found herself surrounded by fire.
She stood up on shaky legs and looked around. The other two were there as well. she pushed her hair out of her face and was about to speak again when a loud clap of thunder sounded and echoing footsteps were audible behind her. She turned and saw Tao as he spoke to them, calling them rookies and saying that they didn't like much. A ball was tossed at her and she attempted to catch it out of reflex.
The ball hit her hand and she fumbled with it before dropping it. Bending for it as it fell, it hit the ground and opened. A white flash later and a Bulbasaur was standing there. Kaera froze for a moment, surprised, not even realizing that it had been a pokeball. She saw a card next to the bulbasaur and picked it up when she picked up the now empty ball. Pocketing the ball, she read the card. It read: "Bulbasaur - Leech Seed, Tackle, Razor Leaf, Growl , Seed Bomb"
She looked back down at the green pokemon, somewhat familiar with it. Her mom had had an Ivysaur and they were in the same family, afterall. "Errrr" she said, "These the moves you know?" she asked. The bulbasaur nodded. Kaera looked to see if the other two had gotten pokemon as well when the Geodude's fell from the sky and landed all around them.

The boy from the train station sat between Zane and the girl from the same location. They had all got off the same train. Zane sat comfortably, he looked over the boy as he spoke out, catching an uneasy eye contact with the girl sitting the other side of the boy. He just said his name as the chairs flipped and Zane began falling down a chute. What the hell was going on. Zane’s body fell down the chute head first, his body had flipped whilst falling. Landing on his shoulder, Zane rolled forwards, the landing had caused him some pain, but he knew the others had fell too. Quickly bringing himself to his feet, Zane instantly looked over to the other two. He wasn’t concerned of his surrounding, he just wanted the other two to be okay. The girl had landed near him, her luggage had managed to also fall down the chute and land atop of him. Zane quickly rushed over and helping her lift the luggage from his body, he smiled. However, the smile didn’t last very long, he was in a rush. He quickly moved over to Cameron. Who was now cradling in his knees, Zane crouched near him.
“Come on dude, it’s okay.”
Zane quickly turned back to the girl. His hand brushed past hers as he walked past. A man donning a red coat and slick silver hair stood before him. It wasn’t until now that Zane realised the surrounding, fire and thunder. He jumped a little as the thunder clapped. Zane then listened as the man spoke out to them. Somewhat undermining them, something Zane hated, being talked down to was one of the many things that ticked Zane off. The man then tossed a Pokeball, Zane’s ball was a little low, crouching down he just about caught the ball before it would have hit the ground. He then caught the incoming card, reading it “Fire Fang, Ember, Flame Thrower, Smokescreen and Growl” Zane grunted. He knew nothing about Fire-type Pokémon. Looking down the line, he saw the girl and a Bulbasaur standing before her. Proceeding down the line he saw the boy, Cameron he must have obtained a Squirtle. Zane then clicked the Pokeball and let loose the Pokémon within. A Charmander appeared before him. Looking back to Tao, a sudden surge of loud noise forced them all to look up. Seeing an incoming wave of Geodude. Zane quickly counted them. Looking over to the other two, he said somewhat calmly.
“Name’s Zane, we’ll need to work together if we have any chance of defeating them.”
Zane then began his first command of the Charmander. He looked down to his info card, looking back to the Charmander. He shouted as the rumble of the Geodudes became louder and louder thanks to them bouncing off the floor.
“Try a Smokescreen on the Geodudes. Charmander… You guys launch an attack too!”

"Heh, you Rookies should give up."
Tao smirked as the Geodudes started crowding around the kids, some of them even taking the brunt of the smokescreen and reassured each other that they were going to win. Nine out of Ten of the Geodudes barricaded the trainers and their pokemon, all looking ready to use the same drastic move. Explosion.
"Those Geodudes are ready to explode. If any of you even survive that, Weepingbells are gonna go up and surround everyone. Any of you still wanna continue?"

Cameron glanced at the other two, The boy, Zane apparently, had a Charmander, the girl had a bulbasuar. He looked at his squirtle, he didn't know much about Pokemon battles in general. It appeared he'd have to learn, as he glanced around the many Geodudes that were starting to surround them.
He heard Zane give the chamander a command, a thick screen of smoke filling the area. He coughed, and tried to read his own card. Water Gun, Skull Bash, Tail Whip, Hydro Pump
" U-um Squirtle" He stuttered trying to make out the words on the card " M-Maybe try...Bubble?"
He looked up as the silver haired man appear. " E-xplode!" He exclaimed. Was this guy insane!? Was this test meant to kill them!? No one ever told him that...Maybe he should just give up and get out... He swallowed, shaking rather violently. " y-You can't have them do that!"

Kaera watched the two others get up and get their pokemon ready. The Geodudes began to swarm around them. Swallowing nervously, she looked at the card and then at the Bulbasaur. She looked around, they were surrounded! The Geodudes all looked ready to blow. Think! How would dad get me out of this? she thought.
Her thoughts went back to a time when she was surrounded by Nincada- she had disturbed a nest and they were thoroughly pissed at her. They were all about to attack when her father's Scyther dashed in and used Gust to blow a small chunk of them away. With the circle opened, she was able to run to safety while the scyther handled the rest at its leisure. There were no Scythers here to get rid of the Geodudes, however. But Kaera got an idea.
"Gah! Bulbasaur, use Seed Bomb....right there!" she pointed to a spot between two Geodudes. The obediant leaf pokemon nodded and, with a roaring "BuuulllllBA!" launched the seeds from its back. They landed in a small cluster between the two Geodude and exploded, causing the four rock pokemon in that area to fly in opposite directions.
"This way!" she called to Zane and Cameron as she and Bulbasaur ran out of the ring of Geodudes. She had managed to get to the far side of the room when they finally exploded. The force of the shockwave was strong enough to knock her off balance and send her rolling across the floor, but not enough to cause any real harm.

Zane was focused entirely on defeating these Geodudes until the silver haired man returned and noted they were about to explode. That wasn’t a nice thought seeing as the trio of new students were standing in a ring of them. Cameron attempted to use a Bubble attack, Zane knew he didn’t know what he was doing, if only they had switched Pokémon, Zane knew how to handle a Squirtle. His knowledge of Water-type Pokémon was greater than that of Fire-types. The girl then acted out, launching a Seed Bomb which spread the Geodudes creating a path for them to escape. As the girl dashed forwards, Zane followed. He allowed Cameron to move before him and due to it he was last and nearest to the explosion. As the boom commenced, Zane was thrown against the wall he hit he face along with the rest of body against the wall, falling to ground. Zane’s nose along with a gash of his cheek dribbled with a viscous red liquid. Zane was bleeding, after regained a little of his energy he picked himself up, using his sleeve to wipe away the blood. He felt enormous pain in his nose. His nostril passages were filled with blood, forcing him to breathe from his mouth, but before he could do that he coughed loudly with a few droplets of blood feel on the ground .

"Oh hoh. You guys actually survived that? Well, not like it's that hard anyway."
Tao said in a very flippant voice as trap doors suddenly opened to reveal several...why weren't they Weepingbells coming out?
"Huh, remotes busted. You guys can handle a two Nidokings right?"
Tao chuckled with a flippant voice as the Geodudes were already rolled out of the way by the shifting platforms. So now there were no Geodudes and2 Nidokings.
"Beat those two and I'll give you all a Yellow Belt."

Cameron was of course, already running before the other boy even let him by. While he didn't get much of the blast, he got enough to be propelled foreward, ending up with a few scrapes. Zane, on the other hand, probably wasn't in the best of shape by now.
He pushed himself to his feet, turning to go try and help the other boy up before stopping in his tracks as the two Nidokings stomped out. He stepped backwards, stumbling and falling. By this time he was pretty sure that this dude was crazy, and trying to kill them.
He fumbeled for the note card trying to think quickly." U-Um. " He tried to decide on what to use, trying to think back at the pokemon battles he saw as a child. Ground pokemon never seemed to like water that much..." S-squirtle try water gun!?" The squirtle obeyed, a stream of water being shot at the nearest Nidoking.

Kaera had stopped rolling after a couple summersaults and had ended up on her back. She sat up in time to witness the Geodudes rolling off the field. In their place came not the Weepingbell the crazy old man had promised, but instead two Nidoking began to rise up from the floor. They emerged swiftly, but it seemed in slow motion, their bodies at first appearing to be nothing but monstrous black silhouettes against the harsh red light of the cave.
As Kaera's eyes adjusted she realized what they were and quickly got up, pushing off of the ground with her hands and swinging her feet under her body to get some leverage, extending her legs to lift herself upwards into a standing position. Her legs were spread a bit in a ready stance, that way if she had to she could jump or run in most any direction to escape any potential issues..
She glanced at the others. The cute one seemed down for the count and the coward was attempting a water gun at one of the Nidoking. Nidoking! Kaera didn't know much about them. Were they ground or rock type? The two behemoths looked as though they would be of either type. If that was the case, than the water attack would be highly effective. As would a grass attack.
Kaera's first instinct was to attack the other Nidoking, keep both of them off their feet. But the Bulbasaur and Squirtle were low-evolved pokemon, while the two Nidoking were high up there on the power pole. They'd be better off teaming up.
"Bulbasaur, use Leech Seed on that Nidoking" Kaera said, pointing at the one that Cameron and Squirtle had targeted with a water gun. "Then follow it up with a Razor Leaf."
"Bubbazaur!" the Bulbasaur confirmed it heard the order and crouched its front legs, aiming the bud on its back at a slight angle towards the Nidoking. A soft white light formed within the leaves and then a seed fired out, arcing through the air heading directly for the target pokemon. If Kaera was lucky, the water gun attack would distract or stun the Nidoking long enough for the Leech Seed to land and grow on it. And now, even as the Leech Seed flew through the air, Bulbasaur was prepping to fire a slew of razor sharp leaves that would cause more harm than not to the Nidoking.

Everything was just a blur, Zane's vision had doubled. He saw multiple Geodues roll away, beaten up from their explosion, atleast they had that in common. He had managed to scramble himself to his feet, but after another cough of blood, he fell to one knee. His sight was still impaired but he knew he had to do something. Reminaing on one knee, Zane looked up to see four Nidokings rise up on platforms. His head was banging and the loud noises of the moving platforms didn't help much at all. Zane was beginning to lose it, before calming himself and closing his eyes. His head fell into his arms, which were perched on his raised knee. His lungs were expanding and contracted like they never had before. He was oanting heavily. That blow really took it out of him. Keeping his eyes closed, he lifted his head to cough yet more blood onto the ground.
Enough was enough. Zane knew he had to battle through it and through sheer willpower, Zane brought himself to his feet, his legs were unstable but they had managed to maintain his body weight for now. He then opened his eyes, the blurred vision had begun to erase and he know saw only two Nidokings. However, no matter how many the sight of a Nidoking so close was never a good situation. Zane then looked down to the trusty Charmander he had been issued by the silver haired man. He knew the Nidokings would over-power the younger Pokemon in close quarter combat, hell they were overpower in long-range combat but he never to do something.
"Charmander, try a Growl."
Zane commanded quietly as he drawed the card from his pocket, black soot covered the corner but Zane didn't pay any attention and read the first move on there. He then coughed again, droplets of blood fell from his mouth and landed onto the already, red lit floor. The Charmander would ready it's attack. Such an attack would strike both Nidokings and lower their attack. The Charmander pulled back it's lips, showing its gnarling teeth. It then proceeded to let out a loud growl, Zane was unsure whether the strength of the growl was strong enough to reach or even effect the Nidoking but it was worth a try.

"What the hell was that?"
Tao was disappointed at the trio. Nothing else. Pulling out the remote again, Tao crunched in a few numbers and with a bark of 'Return,' the two Nidokings went and slid down the chutes as the special effects died down.
"Black Dorms, the lot of you. Be thankful I'm even letting you choose a pokemon."
Tao chucked three pokeballs at the three kids, they contained a Numel, which he chucked at mister got thrown to the wall. An Oddish to Greenly Obsession and the Goldeen's pokeball right at the wimps face.
"The Chansey will be here shortly."
Tao barked as he left the room. Those kids were pathetic. It would be a wonder if they ever made it to Silver, let alone Yellow.

Kaera was relieved, to say the absolute least, when the Nidokings vanished down some chutes. The Charmander's growl had been pathetic, to say the least, but the Water gun and Leech Seed/Razor Leaf combination seemed not to be as effective as she had hoped. However, the demonic instructor recalled the two powerful pokemon and said that the Chansey would be in soon. That would be good, especially for the guy who faceplanted the wall.
A pokeball was tossed at her. She caught it with both hands and looked at it, then at the bulbasaur that was already walking away from her. "Okay, so no Bulbasaur" she said. She tossed the Pokeball in front of her. An Oddish popped out. It looked around then it looked at her. Kaera looked at it, then held up the Pokeball and returned it. "Neat" she said, shrinking the ball and attaching it to her belt. She eventually found an exit for the room and left the other two behind, eager to get to the real academy.
<Exit Kaera>

Zane's stability had begun to drop again, his legs wobbled as the Charmander released a poorly executed Growl. However, the Nidokings soon retracted back onto their platforms. Zane gave out a sigh of release. No more torture. He extending his hand, leaning into the wall. He looked back to see the silver haired man had returned. Tossing pokeball to the three students. Zane grasped his pokeball. Clicking the button, he released the pokemon whom just flailed around on the concrete floor. Zane looked down to see a Numel. Great... Not. Zane knew nothing about Fire-Type Pokemon as seen with his command over the Charmander. Clicking the ball again he returned the camel pokemon to the balls, which shrunk in size respectively as the Numel was returned. Zane gave a grunt as he then scrunched his face up in pain. He clasped the ball onto his belt as the Chansey waltzed in. Aiding him off, Zane was to go straight to the Academy's Infirmary for a check over. Despite being in pain, and only being placed in the Black Dorm, Zane was happy. He had got into the academy and got a pokemon of his own, not the type he really wanted but it would do for now. The girl had left before the Chansey had come into the room, and Zane didn't even know what happened to Cameron as he was whisked off in a wheeled stretcher.
Zane Exit.
