Another Pokémon Adventure?! But Aren't We a Little Too Old?!

Yeah we're a little older than most starting pokémon trainers, but it's never too late to start! That's why we've been invited to Acelera Academia. As
the name suggests, the academy is meant to be an accelerated training program meant to push you late bloomers out into the world of Pokémon.
That's what the travel brochure says, sure, but there could be more than meets the eye here. For the time being, it's all that you have to refer to,
until you meet the other academy students.

Another Pokémon Adventure?! But What is With this Brochure?!

Everything the school wanted you to know was in the student packet they sent home a few months ago. The packet goes into depth about student
housing, tuition, class sizes and among other things to expect on campus. Unlike the main student body, special Acelera students are also enrolled in
special courses designed to help us understand Pokémon and how to be better trainers. You might think the Acelera program caters only to those who
had a late start, but it also helps students overcome personal obstacles that prevent them from interacting with pokémon. Some might have a specific
purpose for being here, but let's just be nice to each other, okay? [Fights and drama among students are highly encouraged]

Another Pokémon Adventure?! But What is With the Housing Unit?!

Acelera students have their own housing unit on campus. The Edenboro Complex houses boys on the east wing, and girls on the west wing. At the heart
of the building is a lounge where anyone is welcome to come and mingle. On the complex is also a private garden, pool, gaming room, a small training
area, and a computer lab. Only Acelera students with their student passes have access to these areas. The library and cafeteria are on the main campus
grounds. Financial aid offices and counseling are also available on campus.

Another Pokémon Adventure?! But What is With the Acelera Program?!

On top of regular classes, Acelera Program students meet up every day for special field classes. This can range from simple pokémon hunting to pokémon
care and first-aid. You'll be graded as per professor in your individual classes based on a set of written criteria. Be sure to keep up your grades or risk
being on academic probation!

Another Pokémon Adventure?! But We're Just Students?!

These are the numbnuts who you'll see in the main story. They're nice enough, I guess, but lack talent in everyway to be pokémon trainers. That doesn't mean you should underestimate them though.

Rikimaru rolled their neck after waking up from their nap on thr Magnet train. It had been quite the trek to get to Saffron city to board the train in the first place, and they were still tired from all the people they had been forced to interact with all day. Tesla, who had been sleeping in Riki's lap, woke when Riki began to stir. She made a small cooing noise of confusion as she shook off the daze of sleep.
"We're here, babe." Rikimaru told her, scratching the electric Pokémon behind the ear. "I gotta put you in the ball for a minute while we unload."
Tesla lazily shut her eyes again as Rikimaru pressed the ball against her forehead and returned her. Rikimaru put the ball in one of their coat pockets and stood up. Stretching their arms over their head and twisting their back, they were met with a cresendo of pops and cracking noises. Groaning, Riki gathered all of their things and departed the train, weaving through the crowd with growing unease.
Once they stepped out of the station Rikimaru took in the city in its entirety. Even Saffron city seemed to pale in comparison in terms of buisiness. Biting at their lip absentmindedly, Rikimaru retrieved and clicked the Pokéball they had stashed away.
Tesla appeared at Rikimaru's feet, eyes wide and nose twitching in excitement. She made a happy noise and tapped her paws against the ground in a sort of excited dance that made Rikimaru chuckle fondly.
"Stay close, bud. This is the big city, and I'd really like to not lose you, k?"
Tesla rubbed her head against Riki's leg. Taking a deep breath, Rikimaru adjusted the brim of their cap and took their first nervous steps into the city, Tesla beside them for every step.

already living in cherrygrove city, the move to goldenrod was not a far walk. his mom had given him a basket of pork buns and various side dishes before jae left, though it was a bit rushed. jaehyun had planned out his schedule the night before his trip: he would have to work the early morning shift at the bakery but still had time for an hour-long nap if he wanted to get to the school twenty minutes early. however, he wasn't expecting the morning rush to be so hectic. having to wake up at 4 a.m and dealing with the grumpy businessfolk who needed their morning buns and pastries made the young trainer exhausted - he couldn't skip that nap! he could shorten it to only half an hour, but obviously that didn't work out as planned. the twenty minutes early turned into being twenty minutes late by the time jae had dressed himself in the same t-shirt he wore while working, with flour still stuck to the black fabric, though the zip-up grey hoodie attempted to conceal it slightly. his mom handed him his luggage and the basket of snacks, scolding him for being late with a soft hit to the shoulder, before jae made his way to acelera.

bingsu the growlithe following close beside him, the two made their way through the routes, eventually arriving at the city only five minutes later than he anticipated. fearing that the puppy would wander far due to all the new sights and smells, jaehyun picked him up to hold his partner at his chest. after wandering around aimlessly for several minutes, unable to find the address, a helpful goldenrod city resident pointed him in the right direction. at last, he would have the opportunity to be a pokemon trainer! jae bursted through the school doors, gazing in awe at the magnificent architecture. it was like a prep school, but for dumb people like himself! he gripped his bags and his partner pokemon firmly in his hands, awaiting news about what to do next.

xxmacie got off the plane from her hometown, solaceon town, sinnoh. she wasn't used to the big city life of goldenrod but had always imagined herself living in the city. back in the tiny town of solaceon, she had worked in the pokemon daycare, forced to constantly smile and be all sickly sweet. only ranchers and cowgirls really lived there. thank goodness she was out of there.
xxxshe didn't understand why she had to attend acelera. she could already see her name instilling fear and admiration in newcoming pokemon trainers...macie, future pokemon master. how hard could it be? she was only a few years late to start, right? if she didn't have such a useless pokemon, macie was sure that she could have easily beaten anyone in her path. she gave her swablu a sideye. the dumb thing was running in circles, cleaning macie's backpack with her big cotton wings. macie rolled her eyes. no matter how she tried to get cirrus to act cool and tough, she always ended up looking like some sort of harmless stuffed animal. however, admittedly, cirrus had acted as a good pillow for her on the long plane ride to goldenrod. and macie's belongings were always clean and spotless due to the swablu's sporadic intervals of cleaning. but that was besides the point.
xxxshe stepped out of the airport and was hit with a blast of hot august air. cirrus began flapping around frantically, sending strong gusts of wind to macie's face. "stop it! this isn't like solaceon. get back here or you'll get lost." macie was even more concerned about how she appeared to passerbys, and her frantic swablu was not helping. but cirrus happily obliged and proceeded to fly over and sit on macie's head while she navigated town. macie groaned and gave up. oh, how she wished for a cool dragon pokemon.
xxxmacie arrived at the school and entered the main lobby. she saw someone there waiting already. he had a growlithe with him, and macie couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance at her own companion for being so boring. dropping her bags, she stuck her hand out to him. "macie blackthorne. and you are?" she said, putting a big smile on her face even though she couldn't care less who this person was. it was nothing personal, she just didn't have time to waste making friends.

Lune had a feeling he was going to miss life in Floaroma Town.

The little blue house down the lane had been the only thing he's known for the past 18 years. He's never set foot outside of Floaroma. He attended trainer school in their sleepy little town, sure, but he never dreamt of going out on his own as a pokémon trainer. His fear of the unknown had kept him in chains at home. To cope, he admittedly did some very stupid things that maaaay or may not have gotten himself involved with a gang. Two years ago, he straightened himself out. When he turned 18, he decided he was tired of living with the constant fear of life beyond Floaroma. He enrolled himself in Acelera, and left with no intentions of returning until he had freed himself from all inhibitions.

But change doesn't happen in one night. It starts with him passing the garden arbor at the front of his house to leave.

From there, the plane had taken him far across the sea. It helped that through the whole panic-inducing ordeal, Babey had been beside him the entire time. His partner-in-crime, a bright pink Clefairy, rode high on his shoulders to take in the unfamiliar sight of the huge city. Acelera was just as strange, though he liked this sensation of odd wonder. There were students all around him coming to greet each other. He felt like a complete stranger in the sea of faces, and the anonymity felt somewhat comforting to him. His Clefairy let out a happy chirp, and as though sensing the wave of relief washing over him, it patted his head. As they made their way to his dormitory, Lune took note of the thinning number of students. There must be more dorms around campus then.

Inside and away from the summer sun, the lobby was much cooler. It was more of a lounge if anything with the overall ambience. He could vibe to it, Lune nodded absentmindedly. As he stepped through the automatic glass doors, he glanced around curiously. Now then...which wing was his room in...?

stepping out of the airport, ryuu was immediately overwhelmed by the combination of the hot august air and bustling city that now surrounded him. he had left the comfort of his peaceful beachside town of undella, unova for the sprawling metropolis of johto's largest bustling city, goldenrod, where he now stood, and he couldn’t say he was all too happy about it. after a moment of trying to take everything in, ryuu let out a quiet sigh, although it sounded more like a nervous whimper than anything else.. he wouldn’t deny his nerves had been eating at him throughout the duration of the flight, this was all so new to him and he wasn’t sure he liked it, but he knew he couldn’t give up, not when he had the opportunity to finally become a pokemon trainer! he needed to stay strong, at the very least, he had his deino yami as a mild source of familiarity which gave him some comfort.

“as long as we stick together everything’s going to be oka-“ he was cut off as the realization that yami was no longer by his side struck him like a bullet. “y-yami?!” he exclaimed in a panic, looking around frantically for the missing deino but finding that the pokemon seemed to have vanished completely. “y-you’ve got to be kidding me we just got here!” it had only been a few seconds and already he had managed to lose his only pokemon. who was he kidding? he was terrible at this. after what felt like an eternity of desperately searching for his lost pokemon, all the while covering his face as much as possible from passersby out of embarrassment, ryuu finally managed to find yami, who had somehow managed to wonder halfway down the street already. ryuu knew had no other choice but to carry him the rest of the way. he knew that just like him, the sounds and smells must of been overwhelming for the little deino. not to mention he was a bit worried that if he did let him wander he’d start tackling or biting passersby in an attempt to learn his surroundings which is something he definitely didn’t want happening on his first day.

after making his presence known to the confused yami —with some struggle— he lifted the deino to his side in one hand, still having to carry his heavy suitcase in the other. after a lot more struggling, wondering, and coming to the realization of just how unfit he really was, he finally made it to his intended destination. as he approached the main lobby, he froze in place as he gazed up at the building with uncertainty. a bead of sweat rolling down his face, although it was hard to tell if it was due to the heat or his own nervousness. as if sensing his discomfort, yami nuzzled the side of his face, rather roughly, but the attempt was enough to calm his nerves slightly and make him snap out of his frozen state. walking through the automatic glass door he was hit with a refreshing wave of cool air as he entered the lobby, trying to divert his gaze away from the other students as he did so. now all he had to do was find his room.... right?

Rikimaru had entered the lobby some time ago, but had taken a seat on a cushioned bench to call their parents to tell them the trip went fine and that they were safe. Getting back onto their feet, Rikimaru watched as two gentlemen arrived; a boy with blonde hair and a Clefairy, and an anxiety-riddled boy with blue hair.
Seeing the blue-haired boy's overcumbrance and anxiety, Rikimaru immediately got to their feet and began to stride over. Though, after a few seconds they noticed he was shrinking into the corner and shying away from others. Perhaps it would be best not to overwhelm him. Rikimaru knew from experience that sometimes when they were having a panic attack they needed to be alone. They were reluctant to leave such a scared person alone, but they didn't want to scare him further.
But they had already started walking away from their bench and towards the entrance- they had to do something. Rikimaru's eyes caught oh the blonde boy. He was looking around a bit- he seemed curious and more open to discussion. In a seamless transition Rikimaru changed targets and approached him instead, noting the odd color of his eyes and his relaxed demeanor.
"Hello, I take it you are an upcoming student as well? My name is Rikimaru, nice to meet you." Rikimaru politely outstretched a small, pale hand to shake and offered a little smile. They hoped they weren't intruding but they had already backed themself into a corner and didn't have many options. But this boy seemed friendly enough- he was looking around his surroundings, which was a good sign. When people don't want to be bothered they tend to keep their eyes focused ahead and the air around them becomes more charged. It was a hard thing to explain and was likely just an observation that lined up with Rikimaru's intuition, but it had worked for them so far.
Tesla curiously craned her neck forward to try to sniff at the new person without being directly on top of him. The electric Pokémon looked up at the two with round dark-purple eyes, looking at the boy first before moving on to the Clefairy riding on his shoulders. She had just recently encountered a few Clefairy during their trip through Mt. Moon, and Tesla tilted her head at the fluffy pink Pokémon.
