A couple of days passed since the Festival.
Right now, the students of Class 1A were about to face a new challenge before they even enter into scholarships.
"Alright, let's get down to the basics. As I'm sure you are all aware the Strawhats are not people of this world. One of them Yukiko, has offered to act as a teacher for a new course you'll be having after regular schooltime...............she will teach you all about the creatures that inhabit her world. Creatures called Pokemon." Aizawa said as Yukiko entered.
"Right." She then had Pachi on her shoulder. "As you already received offer letters, I'll be accepting over 100 students, but it won't be easy. Pokemon are just like us. They have their own powers and abilities, too, and there are over 1000 species of them, and many more are being discovered. People have them around as pets or companions. Others enter them in Pokemon battles in contests of skill and strategy. And the Pokemon in question come in all shapes and sizes. However, I should let you know. They also have their own personalities; you can not assume that they will be all nice, but they do not attack for no reason. Some attack out of fright, others because you invaded their territory are can be seen as a threat to their pack. So, more often than not, they only attacked when threatened or provoked."
"So if anyone is interested sign up now." Aizawa said.
-----------------------------
Surprisingly, all of Class 1A, even Bakugou signed up.
Now they all found themselves at a new place called the Biotope.
"Hello everyone!" Yukiko said as she greeted other students. "Lets get inside!"
The students were all amazed as they saw the Biotope. It looked like all kinds of environments smushed together as all kinds of unknown creatures were roaming them.
There were so many creatures that they've never seen before. Some looked similar to plants, Dragons, birds, cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, animals, even objects, and some they didn't even know of.
"So you catch and train these guys for something?" Sero asked.
"Yup, a Pokemon trainer is a person who catches, trains, cares for, and battles with Pokémon. The majority of people in my world are Trainers.
Pokémon Trainer is a broad term for any person who owns Pokémon, including Coordinators and Breeders. However, the term is more often used to refer to people on a journey to collect Gym Badges and enter the Pokémon League which most regions have.
Many Trainers leave home at age ten or eleven, often accompanied by a starter Pokémon they obtain from a Pokémon Professor of their respective region. Many will travel around one or more regions, doing such things as gathering information for a Pokédex, perfecting their technique, collecting Gym Badges, and working to become a Pokémon Master. No matter their specialties or aims, there is one unwritten rule that we all follow—when two Trainers that haven't met before make eye contact, they must have a battle, but they never back down from a challenge." Yukiko explains.
"Oceans, firey plains, rivers, valleys, deserts, mountain ranges, and so on. Pokemon can be found almost anywhere in the Pokemon world. "There are 18 total official types of Pokémon as well.
Normal, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dark, Dragon, Steel, and Fairy.
To better explain," Yukiko paused as 17 Pokémon accompanied Pachi.
"Pachi is an electric-type. Teddiursa, Normal, Totodile, water. Mimikyu, Ghost. Arcanine, fire. Mienfoo, fighting. Scyther, Bug. Steenee, Grass. Absol, dark. Vulpix, ice. Seviper, Poison. Espurr, psychic. Klefki, Fairy. Wooper, Ground. Drampa, Dragon. Golem, Rock. Talonflame, flying. And Steelix, steel." Yukiko explained as the students looked at the Pokemon in wonder and amazement.
"In the course of my adventures, I competed in the League by obtaining Gym Badges." Yukiko said as she showed the Badges. "It is an item that serves as proof of a Pokémon Trainer's victory in a battle against a Gym Leader.
Trainers need to collect a certain number of Gym Badges in order to qualify for a region's Pokémon League. Young Trainers usually begin their initial Pokémon journey by traveling from city to city in order to collect them. Badges are small enough to fit easily between one's thumb and index finger and can be pinned to a shirt or kept in a Badge case like this. They are made of a special material that is considered very expensive, making them priceless." She said.
"After the gym challenges, those that won all 8 badges can apply for the Pokemon League. The gym challenges are just preparation for the real battles for the Leagues. There are ten known regional Leagues under the Pokémon League: the Indigo League in Kanto, the Orange League in the Orange Archipelago, the Johto League in Johto, the Hoenn League in Hoenn, the Sinnoh League in Sinnoh, the Unova League in Unova, the Kalos League in Kalos, the Alola League in Alola, the Galar League in Galar and the Paldean League in Paldea.
The general structure of most Pokémon Leagues is simple:
The tournament competition itself has an opening and closing ceremony. In some regions, a torch with the flame of Moltres or Ho-Oh burns for the duration of the tournament, a reference to the Olympic Games.
The day after the ceremonial torch has been lit, in some of the regional Leagues, the qualifying rounds begin so as to weed out Trainers who have gotten the required eight Badges but are not yet skilled enough to continue, and those who survive move on to the preliminary rounds. In other regional Leagues, the preliminary rounds will begin immediately and will continue for several days until the top sixteen Trainers have been decided. At this point, there is a short break in the competition so that the Trainers and their Pokémon may rest, followed by the start of the final rounds.
In the final sixteen rounds, most, if not all, battles are usually Full Battles. All battles are conducted in the main stadium, and Trainers move up the tournament tree in a single-elimination style. The winning contestant matchups are shuffled between rounds, as opposed to using traditional ladder seeding. Upon defeating their opponent, the final winning Trainer is awarded a trophy and earns the right to enter the Champion League to officially challenge the Elite Four and Champion of that region.
The Elite Four and the Champion themselves are considered the cream of the crop of their respective region. Before we go on, are there any questions?" Yukiko asked.
"I do! You mentioned coordinators. Are they different from trainers?" Ochacho asked.
"To a degree, yes. A Pokemon Coordinator is like a person who enters their Pokemon in contests. They are like a beauty pageant for Pokemon, but only Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh host them. The competition is organized by the Pokémon Activities Committee and allows Coordinators to show how skilled their Pokémon can be. Winners are presented with a Ribbon.
A Pokémon Contest is divided into two parts. In the first round, called the Performance Stage, Coordinators have their Pokémon performing their moves in order to showcase their style and skill. The appeals are awarded points by a panel of judges, usually formed by Mr. Contesta from the organizing committee, Mr. Sukizo from the Pokémon Fan Club, and Nurse Joy from the local Pokémon Center. The Coordinators with the highest scores proceed to the next round. The number of Coordinators that advance to the second round varies. The second round is the Battle Stage, in which Coordinators compete in Pokémon battles while continuing to show off their Pokémon's style and skill. Each battle lasts five minutes and the object of the battle is to decrease the opponent's points. Coordinators lose points when their Pokémon are hit by an attack, when their Pokémon's attack fails, when the opponent's Pokémon performs a particularly appealing move, or when the opponent's Pokémon uses their Pokémon's attack to its own advantage. A battle can also end when one of the Pokémon is unable to battle, called Battle Off by the judges. In this case, the Coordinator with the remaining Pokémon is declared the winner.
However, it can vary from region to region.
In Hoenn, Coordinators have to use the same Pokémon for both rounds—although there are exceptions—and the master of ceremonies is Vivian Meridian.
In Kanto, Coordinators may enter different Pokémon for each round and the master of ceremonies is Lilian Meridian.
In Sinnoh, Coordinators may enter different Pokémon for each round and generally dress up to compete, though it seems this is not a strict requirement. They also use Ball Capsules and Seals to enhance a Pokémon's entrance. Pokémon Contests in the Sinnoh region include both Single and Double Performances, with the Grand Festival featuring the Double Performance format. The master of ceremonies for these events is Marian Meridian.
In Johto, Coordinators can enter different Pokemon or choose to stick with the same Pokemon from the Appeal Round, and the host is Arinian Meridian.
A Coordinator needs a Contest Pass from a particular region to enter Pokémon Contests there. Coordinators who win five Ribbons of a specific region are able to enter that region's Grand Festival. A Ribbon won from events such as the Wallace Cup can be used in any region. Also, Ribbons do not expire, and multiple years can be used to collect the five needed for the Grand Festival. However, after being used to enter the Grand Festival, the five cannot be used again. Winners of the Grand Festival earn the Ribbon Cup and become Top Coordinators." Yukiko explained as she presented some of her Ribbons.
"Wow! Can we see an example?" Mina asked in excitement.
"Of course, and before any of you boys complain, a Pokemon contest is beneficial to Pokemon, not to express their beauty, but to sharpen their skills and confidence. Lily, Spotlight's on you!" Yukiko yelled as her white Florges appeared from her Pokeball in a beautiful display of sparkles.
Then Sparks appeared.
"Florges, the Garden Pokemon. White Variant.
It claims exquisite flower gardens as its territory, and it obtains power from basking in the energy emitted by flowering plants. Its life can span several hundred years. It's said to devote its entire life to protecting gardens, making them popular with palaces that have beautiful landscapes. A Florges adorned with white flowers can sync with the wavelengths of various colors to draw forth their power."
"Alright Lily, let's give our students a display. Use Grassy Terrian the Misty Terrian." Lily did so as the field became more lush and green and an alluring mist appeared.
"Now Aromatherapy then Sunny Day followed by Nature Power!"
Lily did so and summoned up a Moonblast into the air.
"Now use Psychic on it and shape it!"
Lily did so and shaped the Moonblast until it had the shape of Lunala flying in the sky.
"Alright wrap this up with our combo: Fairy Ball and aim it at the formation!"
And so Lily used a Petal Blizzard, Dazzling Gleam and Energy Ball at the 'Lunala' making it explode and sparkles, green lights and petals fall down gently onto the field as Lily and Yukiko bowed.
Students applauded at the display.
"That was so amazing!"
"Cest Magnifique!"
"Who knew a beauty display can be exciting?"
"Outstanding!"
"Wow, her Florges is really strong to do all that!" Izuku muttered to himself.
-----------------
Sadly the day had to end as everyone had to prepare for their upcoming internships.
"Well, once the internships are done, they will have to be ready for Finals right?" Usopp asked in their private lodging.
"Yeah, and we got permission from Nedzu to teach them during Summer camp, those who pass that is." Nami said as they had dinner.
--------------------
The other day.......
"You want the Strawhats to teach them what?" Midnight asked.
"Yes, Luffy and Yukiko came to me personally and they said they sensed traces of a power called Haki in some of our students." Nedzu said.
"They said that Haki is a mysterious power that allows users to utilize their spiritual energy for various purposes. Everyone actually has it, but most people do not notice it or fail to awaken it. Those of their crew who possess it include Luffy, Yukiko, Zoro, Sanji, Jinbei, and Usopp, as well as Ace and Alina, of course. They also told me that most people who can use Haki tend to have one type that they are better at, and, as a result, focus on training and fighting with that type primarily. However, a person can improve their abilities with all the types of Haki, it just requires more work. It's like having another quirk, just without the drawbacks. Besides, if our students are capable of this Haki, it could help them in the future." He confirmed.
This got the staff curious.
What kind of power is Haki anyway?
----------------------
We'll get a little bit into Stain in the next chapter but it will only be one chapter.
In addition, I'm considering something......
should I have Luffy challenge All Might during finals? And I will only use Gear 4, not 5th...................
I'm saving that for a certain villain.
And I'll have two certain family members be transported next! Guess who they are!
Hint: Luffy will not be happy to see one of them!
plz comment!
