Back to School

On the morning Ahriman is going to school, Ahriman awakes to warm sunny day and Abra sleeping on his bed in the corner. Natu can be seen sleeping at the end of the bed. Ahriman climbs out of bed and carries out his morning routine. When Ahriman reaches the dining table for his breakfast, his mother can be heard humming whilst making his a hearty breakfast of toast with a soft boiled egg and a bowl of pokemon shaped cereal. After breakfast Ahriman gets washed and changed and starts bringing his bag down and place into the family car. When everyone was ready, they started their drive to Cherrygrove City. The drive would take 1 hour and on the drive and on the way, Ahriman could see many different kinds of pokemon, from Sentret to Rattata playing and scurrying around in the grass. To Pidgey flying and roosting in the trees with sleeping Hoothoot. On occasions the odd Hoppip can be seen gliding on the wind with no care in the world. This changed however as for the first time Ahriman was exposed to cruelty of this world as a gang of Rattata could be seen chasing the Hoppip and one leaped and dragged it down. The Hoppip cried out as the Rattata slowly swarmed around and feasted on their catch. Ahriman after seeing this turned back around and started to sleep (meditate) for the rest of the journey to try and clear his mind.

After arriving at the trainer school, Ahriman gave his mom a hug and started heading in, leaving his mom teary eyed as she will miss her son and be alone at the house. After being directed to his new room for the next 2 years, he can see a simple room with a single sized bed, 1 small table with a chair and a window out looking the field and forest towards the back of the school. There is a wardrobe and chester drawers to store his clothes. After unpacking his things and setting out a bed for Abra. Ahriman left his room and starting exploring the school, after 5 minutes and passing multiple classroom, he found himself in a hall with other kids. Sighing to himself he waited on a nearby chair for the assembly to start. Just then an adult walked onto the stage and called for everyone's attention.

Principle: "Greetings everyone, I am the principle and we are happy to have you all here. In the next 2 years you will learn how to handle situations you may come across when you start out on your journeys. you will learn about how to train and care your pokemon and the ins and outs of camping if you can't get to a city. Now you all will be divided into classes....." After listening to the principle for awhile, Ahriman started to doze off and blank the noise.

6 Month later

Male Teacher: "Ok kids, each of you will pair off and we will be camping in the nearby forest for a few days. Make sure to pack enough clothes, food and water will be provided when on site." After this Ahriman and the rest of the group arrived a the campsite and as told to group up. Ahriman searched around found a group of 3, 2 girls and 1 boy. he approached the group and introduced himself.

Ahriman: "Hello, im Ahriman can i join your group?"

Susan: "Hi I'm Susan, we have room for 1 more." Smiling happily.

Ahriman: "Thank you. I come from New Bark Town. how about all of you?"

Susan: "Im from Cherrygrove City," Pointing at the other girl in the group "This is Chloe, she's from Violet City."

Jason: "I'm Jason, i come from Cherrygrove city as well, nice to meet you!" Jason put his fist forward for a fist bump. Ahriman returns the gesture and bumps his fist.

Ahriman: "So where are we setting up?"

Jason: "My dad took me camping around these woods all the time. There is open ground about 20 steps in that direction." Pointing towards a break in the trees. "We sometimes used these camp grounds in the beginning and after a while we adventured out. We used that place a lot, we didn't experience any pokemon approaching our camp whenever we camped there."

The group after hearing this told one of the teachers and guided them to their camp site to get the ok. Once the location was approved, we all helped getting the two tents pitched and looked for firewood.

Ahriman: "So, what pokemon does everyone have? do anyone have a fire pokemon, they would be a good help getting a fire going."

Chloe timidly responded, "I have a Cyndaquil that has recently learnt ember"

Ahriman:"Good, at least we can get a fire going. what about the rest, I personally have a Abra and a Natu."

Jason: "My dad gave me a Rattata, he said that due to their ability they make good starting pokemon and are good scavengers so they can be fend for themselves in a pinch when food is low."

Susan: "I have a Chikorita, out of the 3 pokemon, i found her to be the cutest."

As we were talking we heard a rustling from a nearby bush away from the campsite. We all stopped and stared, Ahriman reached for his pokeballs in the event they needed, Susan and Chloe both held each other whilst Jason picked up a nearby stick and started approaching.

Jason: "There's nothing to be afraid of, its probably another group wanting to play a prank on us." As Jason approached "Ok, funny jokes guys, you got us. Now get lost your not wanted and we have already claimed this spot." As Jason approached closer, his face turned pale as two blue eyes can be seen in the darkness. His arms went limp and dropped the stick he was carrying. He however carried on walking in the direction of the bush, only to to carry on walking and disappear into the bush. Moments pass by and nothing can be heard, Ahriman approaches the bush after calling both Abra and Natu out. Wary and on guard, Ahriman prepares for the worst and readies himself to command his pokemon to attack if need.
