[Leila Valestory]

It was early afternoon and she had taken a break from setting up her classroom to come to the Commons to have lunch with Hibiki and Amarone but it was going the same as any other day had recently. Amarone the mighty Scizor was completely ignoring the tall slender built woman with the long blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail. She wore blue jeans and rather showy black top that dropped low into her cleavage. A heavy sigh left her lips as she sat offering the Scizor a poffin. But as always he just ignored her thus time acting as if he was engrossed in the battles goin on in the dome. "Come on Rone please, I promise it tastes really really good!" She attempted to entice e the Scizor who still summarily ignored her entirely. 

She stood moving to sit closer to the Shiny Togekiss who had perched on the back of a couch. "Hibiki He doesn't want anything to do with me. What do I do he won't even talk to you." She whined pitifully to her pokemon. The island navigation teacher had still made absolutely no progress with the Scizor and it had already been a week. The only one of her pokemon he would even acknowledge was Parfet  and he happily greeted her, and accepted anything offered from her hands. Not even the Gardevoir had been able to convince the Scizor to tell her what was wrong, or to even talk to his new trainer. It was so frustraiting, it was making her depressed.

All that school life was really starting to work on Zoey's nerves. She just come here to find her sister back. Now she was actually enrolled, forced to take school and god knew what else. Ugh... Oh well, it couldn't be that bad now, couldn't it? What was the worst that could happen? A bad grade on a test? Maybe got a little hurt in physical class? Noting she couldn't handle. Maybe she could get out a better person for it.

At least she was starting to get used to it by now. At least she got an opportunity to get away from her parents, which she didn't had anywhere else before. Still, she wondered why her sister refused to talk to her or to remember her. It was certainly frustrating. Of course, she wore her school uniform.

She decided to go eat some lunch. She didn't have it yet, but she didn't know how long the break would still last. Let's see, yesterday Titania accompanied her to it, so today she would look if Trick was up to it. At least the little guy couldn't eat that much since it was like ten centimeters big. She only hoped the little devil would contain herself a little. It arguably was the pokémon she had to most trouble here, but she was alright once you got used to her.

As Zoey arrived in the common room she took a seat with her lunch and Trick crawled out of her sleeves to get some food.

"You know, you should really stop hiding in there!" She scolded the little bug. She didn't knew why the little pokémon was always pulling things like this. Like the time she webbed Titania entirely up. She couldn't allow her to do that though.

The young woman gave an exasperated sigh looking away from the Scizor, she watched as girl from the Nature dorm entered the commons. Well at least a pretty face had come to help fix her now horrid mood. She would ignore Rone for awhile and enjoy watching the students for a bit. Of he was going to ignore her, she might as well return the favor for a bit.

She watched the girl get her lunch then go sit. Suddenly a tiny yellow creature crawled out of her sleeve. A Joltik, he was adorable. She had always loved Joltik. The two of them seemed to get on well enough. Then she had an idea. Maybe this girl could help her make friends with Rone!

Standing she looked at her pokemon "I will be right back." She said simply heading toward the girl and her Joltik. As she came within reasonable nonyelling speaking distance she smiled. "Excuse miss, but I have a small favor if I may." She asked getting straight to her reason for approaching.

"You know one of these days... Pardon me? She said after an adult came towards were she was going to eat with Trick. From the looks of it she was a staff member, but she never had seen a staff member who wore so... flamboyant clothing. Not that Zoey was complaining, but before even trying to stare she was going to take this seriously. Also, why would a staff member she never have seen before ask for a favor out of the blue like this? Unlikely as it was that she could help, she could at least try.

"Very well ma'am. Lead the way." Zoey said actively with a smile on her face. She was actually very nervous, but she doubted the teacher would be able to discern that from her face. Really now, what could a student possibly do what a staff member could not? She could see a scizor in the direction she came from, had that one something to do with it. In any case he looked rather Scary.

She smiled instantly loving the girls fiery red hair. But now was not the time to admire students. She needed help if she were going to train to this Scizor for work in class. He just would not talk to her.


"Forgive me for asking something like this out of the blue. But you see I'm in dire need of a little help from someone experience with bug pokemon. And I happened to notice your little friend on your arm there." She motioned to the little Joltik and smiled. "My name is Leila Valestory, I'm one of the Island Navigation teachers. Yo can call me Leila." She introduced herself cheerfully with a bright friendly smile.

As the girl told her to lead the way she led her back over to the pokemon gathered around on the couches. "You see, Amarone here won't talk to me. And he acts like I don't even exist. I need need you to help me figure out what's wrong. His friend Grotle likes me but he seems to just flat out hate me entirely. I don't know what I can do. Think you can help?" She offered her explanation then asked her request.


"Of course this won't come without its reward. How about I make lunch for all of us and our pokemon complete with cake for dessert, if you help me?" She offered the girl. "Or I could take you to dinner at a restaurant in the city tonight? The choice is yours on your reward." She offered with grin.

[Zoey May]

At least the woman apologized but that didn't make it sound any better. This could be a chance to get to know another teacher, and this one seemed to be a lot more friendly. It wasn't really that she had any experience with bug types, like she only got this one just when she got here. Zoey still wanted to help Leila though. She just decided to follow the teacher towards her pokémon. At first she was a little worried. Just looking at the red bug from this close was enough to send shivers through her back. She hadn't seen many large pokémon since arriving here, except when owned by a teacher. But if this one didn't listen to his trainer it could mean trouble.

"Does he react to Grotle?" Zoey asked curiously. She had no idea how to start with this. Maybe if she knew more about Amarone, but seeing as he didn't act with Leila at all that might be bothersome as well.

The reward sounded nice enough, not sure it was appropriate but that wasn't her problem. She wasn't here to actually be in class anyway. She only went because it was required to stay. If she it wasn't necessary she would be looking out for pokémon and her sister all day. With that in mind, she wondered if her sister would be in class if she didn't have to, either? At any rate, her thoughts were wandering off, back to the Scizor.

Zoey looked at the Amarone, from top to bottom and back. Trying to find something, like wounds or something that would give him a reason not to like his trainer. Zoey knew that she wouldn't really act so against someone else unless they gave her a reason to.

Trick jumped on a table close to the scizor, looking curiously at the larger bug she only just saw. Her attention previously was fixed annoying Zoey
