The early afternoon sun shown through the classroom Windows, the door wide open. Boxes and crates lined the front of the classroom. The vaulted ceiling made for an excellent perch for Deulo the Pidgeot. He was out of the way and
Was free to do as he pleased. The bright pink pokemon bed lay in the corner under the window where a Shiny Sylveon and an Espeon lay cuddled together. Shiny Togekiss had perched near the Pidgeot so as to stay out of the way as well. A Shiny Dragonite carried boxes to different areas of the classroom. A shiny Gardevoir set pots filled with herbs and plants along the row of Windows arranging the herbs and flowers in pretty decorative ways. The rest of her pokemon were stored carefully away in their pokeball on her desk in a row.

The young woman stretched up trying to place a pin in the corner of a poster. Her ankle length platinum blonde hair was pulled back and braided tightly so as to keep it out of the way. Her ivory skin was clad in tight form fitting black Jean shorts, a dark red tank top clung to her chest rather nicely as she stretched as far as she could hanging maps and diagrams.

Walking into the room, Amanda sees the teacher and flinches. God, she hates teachers. They make so many goddanm RULES. She doesn't like obeying the rules - you're own way is better. Despite this, she walks up to the teacher and gives an overconfident smirk. "G'morin' miss! Can't wait to see what kind of stuff is happening t'day!"
Truth be told, she just wanted to battle. But hey, when life gives you apples, throw it back and demand cake. Wait, that's not right...

[Leila Valestory]

The Sylveon and Espeon curled in the corner lifted their heads as the girl entered the room. The Dragonite stopped and turned to see what was going on dropping the box she was holding on her own foot. She cried out in pain falling on her butt she stared at her foot blankly as if not understanding what had transpired. The Gardevoir quickly left her plants to tend to the poor Dragonite. The teacher turned as the girl greeted her a friendly smile on her lips. "Well hello there missy. You know there's no class for us today right? I'm just here setting up for tomorrow." She beamed looking at the girl. She wasn't bad in the least actually. She glanced to her Pokemon in the corner clearly used to the Dragonite hurting itself.

"But if you stay and help, I've got some chocolate cupcakes I made from scratch I'll reward you with if you stay and help me." She offered bribing the female student, with sweets to stay and help unpack the classroom.

[Amanda Grace]

At the mention of the fact that there was no class, Amanda blushed. She hated being wrong. God, it made her seem dumb. "R-right."

Now, when she thought that you should demand cake from the world, she was kidding. But when the teacher offered her sugar she couldn't refused. It CALLED her for god's sake! CALLED HER! "I-I'd love to help." She said - drooling like a madman. Urg, she wasn't sure whether to be happy or embarrassed and that just confused her. TOO. MUCH. TO. PROCESS.

[Leila Valestory]

A light laugh left her as she watched the student. "Its okay. Wanna know a secret?" She asked plopping her butt down on the stool she had been using to hang maps and such, " My name's Leila Valestory if they hadn't given you my name yet." Well why did she just introduce herself? If this girl was her student she'd have name on a class list right? None the less she picked up a cupcake offering it to the girl.

"So what's your name?" She asked sweetly watching the girl. "Great!" She called excitedly clapping her hands. "Why don't you start with the box Fits dropped on herself." She offered. She knew the box wasn't heavy. It was full of maps. Dita was just special enough she could hurt herself with a paper bag.

[Amanda Grace]

A secret? Well, that certainly intrigued the blonde girl. She liked secrets. Sort of. Anyway, once the teacher had introduced herself, Amanda shrugged and introduced herself. "Name's Amanda. Amanda Grace." She got to work cleaning the room. Better start before things get too sticky.

Seeing the box Leila was gesturing at, Amanda got up and picked it up. It wasn't to heavy, but she turned back to the teacher anyway. "SO where does this bad boy go?" She said, carelessly carrying the box.

[Leila Valestory]

She smiled brightly as the girl offered her name."Pretty name for a pretty girl." She smiled playfully. "The secret, when I was your age. I hated going to class so much I would skip until tests. Then I would go to class." She offered with a playful smile.

"Well the box can go anywhere, the poster I need hung up on that wall. If you don't mind?" She asked sweetly as she stood and started placing plants on the shelf.

[Amanda Grace]

Amanda blushed a little bit when the teacher complimented her and her name. She wasn't used to getting all that many compliments - she was usually scolded for her attitude. "You really hated classes?" When the teacher explained her old study habits, they certainly reminded Amanda of herself - she hated sitting down and studying.

When she was told where to put the box, she just placed it in the corner and tried to hang the poster on the wall. She was rather tall for a fourteen year old, so she didn't have any trouble reaching up to place the poster. "So," She said, trying her best to start small talk. "What pokemon d'you like best?" She wasn't the best at this and the worst part is that she was trying to make sure she wouldn't come off too rude.

[Leila Valestory]

She couldn't help it. She only spoke.what she felt was true. Why should one refrain from complimenting others when the spoken compliment was true. Besides it was cute seeing them blush and turn red like that. "Mhmm. I hated being stuck in a classroom. So I hope you like being outside cause that's where we will be spending most of our class time." She smiled cheerfully.

She grinned at the girl turning from her plants as the Shiny Togekiss left his perch to come hover near his trainers shoulder. "His name is Hibiki. My father gave him to me when I was four. He was just a Togepi then actually." She offered the information willingly. "So who did you start with?" She inquired curiously.

[Amanda Grace]

Amanda jumped up and whooped when it was said that most of this class would be spent outside. She loved outside! It was so much better than this stuffy excuse for a place to battle. Amanda jumped at the thought of learning outside. It was learning. NOT at a desk - the best kind in the history of the 'Verse.

Seeing the pokemon perch on the teacher's shoulder, Amanda gained new respect for the teacher. She so wanted to have a bond like that to a pokemon and just maybe one day - she might.
"Well, for me I met this pokemon when I was younger." She explained. "It helped me when I was lost on the route outside of Parfum Palace. I don't remember what it looked like but I want to get way stronger so I can go home and meet it again! I wanna be it's trainer and say that it is my pokemon partner!" When she was explaining this, her eyes lit up with so much energy that it might have lept out. This was one of Amanda's greatest dreams. Actually, it was one of her secret dreams. She never told anyone because she didn't think they'd quite understand. She didn't even understand why she'd told the teacher! "Oh! But." She sent out her two pokemon. "This is Rio and Shirax. They're my partners now and my best friends!" She grinned.

[Leila Valestory]

She laughed lightly watching the girls enthusiasm. It was awesome to see a child of this day and age so happy about being outside. She knew many who would rather be inside typing away on their computers. It was a mighty shame. A true waste of a mind and body, to just type away all day. "Well then I guess it'd make you happy to know, that our first class will be outside to test and see how much you know about the school." She said cheerfully with a grin. "A scavenger hunt if you will." She grinned wider.

She sat listening to the girl explain about the pokemon She first met. "Do you know what pokemon it was or atleast what type? I will do everything I can to help you get stronger and grab hold of that dream." She offered boldly as she scratched under Hibiki's chin. She grinned as the girl introduced her own pokemon. "Hello you two it's a pleasure to meet you. Would you like a cupcake?" She asked Motioning to the three long containers stacked on her desk, the top open revealing the iced tasted treats that looked as good as any bought in a bakery.

[Amanda Grace]

A scavenger hunt? This made Amanda's smile grow even wider. The one thing that she liked more than being outside was being outside with a challenge to overcome! "A scavenger hunt? Bring it on!" She said in a strong position.

Her face fell, though, at the question of details of the first pokemon she'd met. "No. I was really young at the time and didn't know much about pokemon. Made it kinda hard to recognize any pokemon. Didn't help that it was dark at the time. But thanks so much for helping!" She grinned widely at this stage. She was going to have help finding her mystery pokemon!

Her two pokemon looked up at the cupcakes when they were offered. Rio stayed close to Amanda but Shirax decided to run and grab a cupcake. It failed the first few tries when trying to jump up but succeeded on the third attempt and began munching down on the cupcakes.

[Leila Valestory]

Her grin widened as the girl reacted with excitement and fire. She laughed happily. "Well then I'll let you in on a little secret about our first class. For the first one to reach the finish line, there will be an amazing prize." She said raising a finger to her lips and winking cheerfully.

Her face dimmed as the girl grew melancholy all of a sudden at her inquiry. Then She explained her distress. Looking at her phone then to the pen and notepad beside it. She picked up the pen quickly scribbling on the paper. "Here if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to call or text me okay? And when you go to face your childhood goal I'll come with you to cheer you on!" She offered with a bright grin handing the girl the paper with her number written on it.

She couldn't help but chuckle at the Shinx's issue climbing her desk. She bent down to try and give the Shinx a hand getting up. Standing back up she pulled out a vanilla cupcake with cream cheese frosting and red sugar crystal sprinkles setting down for the Shinx."Here you go little one." She offered pulling out a second one with blue sugar to offer to the Riolu.

The woman knelt holding the cupcake out in her palm. "Here it's good I promise. Its really sweet and tastes like heaven." She cheerfully offered the the cupcake to the hiding pokemon.
