Elite Academy - A Pokémon Story

[BrokenDreamz]

ELITE ACADEMY
Logo coming soon

Welcome, everyone, to my newest story, Elite Academy! Please don't have any fear that I will abandon this story like I have others in the past. I have been working on another story off of TTC and thought I would start a little side project to help maintain my writer's block problems and my incredibly horrible boredom. So, without further ado, I present you all with the prologue to Elite Academy.

-

Four years ago...

The wind blew hard in Sootopolis City. Typically, the weather was calm and warm due to the area the city was in; a crater formed by a volcano. Yet, today, wind had somehow found its way into the crater, giving the residents a nice change from their warm temperatures, and most had come out from their homes to enjoy it. Kids voices could be heard as they ran around the city, playing with their toys and their friends, while the parents mingled with one another; women gossiped about others and men discussed sports and Pokémon.

Volkner gazed at the people every now and again from his spot outside of the local Gym. The wind blew in his hair and his coat, forcing him to shove his hands in his pockets in attempt to maintain the coat from getting swept up by the breeze.

The young man furrowed his brow in concern. He had never been to the city of Sootopolis, but from the stories he had heard about the place, he knew the weather conditions were a bit abnormal. Though he could tell the locals didn’t seem to have a care in the world.

Volkner’s eyes were soon lured towards the sky, well, what he could see of it out of the hole in the crater. The sun had begun to set and nighttime was soon to take over its shift. The twilight sky sure was a beautiful sight, and the sound of waves in the water helped bring Volkner to peace.

“I can only wonder why anyone would want to move to such a remote area.” He sighed to himself and let his eyes wander towards the sign on the Gym.

Sootopolis City Gym. Home of The GYM LEADER with the beauty of pure water!
Former Leader: Wallace
Current Leader: Juan

His brow furrowed once more. “That’s… peculiar… I wonder what happened to the former leader.”

“Wallace moved on to become the Champion of the Hoenn Elite Four, mister. Haven’t you heard the stories?”

Volkner jumped slightly, startled by the sudden voice. He turned around, looking for the source of the voice. It wasn’t until someone tugged at his pant leg and said ‘Down here!’ that he found the source.

A little boy staring up at the young man.

Volkner wasn’t the greatest with kids. When he would venture off to the Lighthouse in Sunyshore City, families would sometimes recognize him and corner him for a chat. Most of those that actually engaged in the most communication were young children whom looked up to him.

It was silly in his eyes.

The young man knelt down to the boy’s height and gave a weak smile. “You see, kid, I’m not from around here. I’m actually-”

“A gym leader! Of course I know that.” The boy’s beaming smile threatened to melt Volkner’s heart. Sure, he could resist the kids, but not for long.

Volkner scratched the top of his head and looked at the boy in confusion. How could someone from a different region in a city nowhere close to his own, know he was a gym leader? Wait… Of course! “Let me guess… You’ve done your research because you’d like to grow up to become a gym leader, right?”

The young boy shook his head. “Actually, I want to grow up and be a part of the Elite Four… just like my daddy!”

Volkner’s eyebrows rose a tad at the boys words. He was the son of an Elite Four member? He couldn’t actually recall any of the Elite Four, except the elders, having children. “…Do you mind me asking who your father is?”

“Bruno!” The little boy replied; a joyous smile on his face. “My daddy’s name is Bruno!”

Huh… Never thought Bruno was the type to have a kid… Volkner raised an eyebrow at the boy’s words. He looked around for a moment and let his eyes rest on the Sootopolis Gym doors. “I’m guessing your father is inside the gym?”

The boy nodded. “I can take you to him if you want!”

“No, that’s-” Before he knew it, the little boy grabbed onto Volkner’s hand, dragging him into the gym.

“Come on, come on! Let’s go see daddy!” Volkner was sure that the boy’s rather large grin would split his face in two. Nonetheless, he was forced into the gym, despite his pleas to walk on his own.

-

“Daddy, daddy!” The young boy’s little voice echoed through the large gym. His hand still grasped Volkner’s as he dragged him further inside, and, eventually, into a room where others sat at a large, boardroom type table. “Volkner is here to visit!”

At that instant, a booming laughter erupted from a large, muscular man with long, dark hair kept up in a ponytail. His large hands slammed down on the table as he lifted himself up from his chair. His eyes shot towards the small boy.

“He better be here to visit! We’ve been waiting for almost half an hour for him to show up!” Bruno grinned widely. It was shocking, really. Volkner had been able to observe the child’s features just enough to indicate he had a striking resemblance to his father. It was almost sickening. One Bruno running around was enough for Volkner. “Son, why don’t you go check on Juan’s Pokémon for him?”

“Surely you don’t think I’d allow such a monstrosity such as your child to deal with my precious water Pokémon, do you?” Another man, this time with a mustache, fine features and a very expensive looking blue coat, spoke up.
Bruno looked at the man over his shoulder.

“My son is not a monstrosity, Juan. Besides,” He walked over to the small boy and ruffled his hair. “He always takes care of Pokémon. He isn’t the type to just go out and mistreat them. Now go on, son. Go see what the Pokémon are up to!”

“I’ll take good care of your Pokémon, Mr. Juan!” The boy flashed a grin towards the gym leader and ran out of the room.

“…If I hear or sense anything that is out of place, Bruno, I swear I’ll-”

“Don’t worry, Juan. Jacob said he’d take care of ‘em, didn’t he?”

“Yes, but-”

“Juan, come on. Just drop-”

“Ahem.” Volkner cleared his throat, causing the verbal argument to come to a sudden halt as the two men looked in his direction. “You haven’t forgotten that I’m here, have you?”

“I’m terribly sorry for how these two are acting, Volkner.” A calm, feminine voice could be heard from another area attached to the room the three were currently in, coming closer with each word. “But I’m certain no one has forgotten of your presence.”

“Professor Araragi.” Volkner greeted the woman as she entered the room with a smile on her face. He put his hands in his coat pockets. “I take it you’ll be the one conducting this meeting today?”

Professor Araragi nodded at the young man as she took a seat at the head of the table, motioning for him to take a seat beside an older man. He did as instructed and folded his hands in front of him.

“Now then, if we are all done with that little quarrel, I’d like to talk about the matter at hand.” Araragi’s eyes surveyed over the small group of people. “I’ve called you all here today to discuss the latest project that each region, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Isshu, has been putting together over the years. The Isshu region, which is the head leader in this project, has instructed that I gather some of the best trainers, be it gym leaders, elite four members or professors, and present an exclusive opportunity to them.”
She paused for a moment before continuing her explanation.

“You three, Juan, Bruno, and Volkner, have been brought here to answer a very important question. Would you be willing to take a job at Elite Academy as a teacher and help train the various student’s who seek higher knowledge of the Pokémon in this world?”

Juan crossed his arms across his chest and gave a small nod in approval. “You already know my answer, Professor Araragi, but I suppose I can repeat it in front of these two. My answer is yes.”

“Hmm… I don’t know if I could handle being away from my son for that long.” Bruno’s eyes lowered to his lap, to which Volkner smirked. Who knew the big tough guy was such a baby?

“I assure you Jacob will be able to accompany you to work, Bruno. I wouldn’t want to tear a boy away from the only parent he has ever known.”

“…Then it’s a yes!” Bruno’s fist shot up in the air as he jumped out of his chair, nearly knocking it over.

“Volkner? Have you come to a conclusion yet?”

Volkner’s smirk faded into a stern line as his brow furrowed. A typical school year lasted about eleven months, with breaks here and there, starting in August and ending sometime in June. He didn’t really have any priorities to take care of other than his gym in Sunyshore City, but, obviously, that would be taken care of… right?

“My gym. If I accept the job, what happens to my gym?” Volkner’s calm eyes gazed at Araragi as he spoke.

“Rest assured your gym will be well attended. You will still remain the main gym leader in Sunyshore during the summer break, as well as the long-term holidays, such as Christmas. Once you begin the teaching job at Elite Academy, a skilled trainer who specializes in the same type as you will be your substitute. If for some reason you don’t approve of the substitute gym leader, you have the right to choose another person who meets your standards for the job.”

It was Volkner’s turn to fold his arms across his chest. Sure, he may have given up on his gym a couple times before due to the lack of skilled trainers, but leaving for such a long period of time was something he wasn’t sure of.

Given the opportunity I may teach trainers a certain field in Pokémon… I suppose it can be fulfilling. Maybe a break is what I need.

“I’ll only accept on the condition that you allow me to choose my substitute.”

Araragi nodded at the young man. “Of course, Volkner. Now,” She stood from her seat. “You all will start in a week. There, you will meet the other staff members and students. Come prepared, gentleman. This will be a long journey.”

[RobberBaron]

Spoiler for lolyay:

Name: Juliet Poésy
Age: 19
Rank: Spy.
Are they currently undercover as a student in the academy?: No.
Appearance: She has long, silver blonde hair, glasses, and a baby blue headband slightly crooked on her head, the headband complete with a ribbon. She has pale skin and blue-ish purple eyes, and is about 5'6". She wears a white blouse with a navy ribbon tied around the collar, and a baby blue skirt with suspenders holding it up. Her outfit is complete with knee socks and black Mary Jane shoes.
Personality: Being a spy, Juliet has dual personalities. On the outside, Juliet seems like a polite, shy, silly, rather cry-babyish young woman who'd blush at the slightest thing. She seems to never really fight for herself, and she'll get frightened easily and stutter. Undercover, she loves "helping out" in the academy and "observing" the lessons.
But of course, it's all a cover-up; Juliet is actually an independent, headstrong young woman.
When she shows her true self, she is rather rude and bold; seemingly not afraid of absolutely anything and almost creepy. She won't take no for an answer and gets almost obsessive over everything; especially victory and pride.
Team: Absol (This is her main Pokémon. She calls her "Abby" when she's undercover and walks with her often); Return, Taunt, Sword Dance, Baton Pass
Castform; Hail, Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Weather Ball
Ninetales; Flamethrower, Will-o-Wisp, Substitute, Hidden Power

I'll draw her later. c: Tell me if that's good, and I can't wait for your story! <3

Edit: Finished the drawing. [click]

Bump. Wonder when Broken will be back...

[BrokenDreamz]

Hey all.

I'm back. 8U

I'm glad you all enjoyed the prologue, and, currently, I'm working on the first chapter. Please keep in mind this may take another week or so. Working on this story, plus another, plus a lot of issues in real life takes a lot of your free time away. But, don't worry. I'll get it out soon. ^^;

Remember; rushing will only cause the chapter to be short, horribly edited, and plain terrible. |D

Feel free to discuss the story, though. Maybe give me some ideas while you are at it. ^-^

[BrokenDreamz]

Just letting ya'll know the first chapter should be out this week. I'm currently working on it so I can get it out before school starts on Thursday. 8U

Kay, can't wait
