The students sat in a large auditorium with two levels of comfortable burgundy chairs, each with its own ivory folding table. The buttermilk walls and sable ceiling reverberating the voices of both humans and pokémon. In the seats that numbered over a thousand, only a small couple hundred were filled, each with a freshman student or their pokémon. On the sable stage stood only a handful of the professors and the headmaster, the second layer of burgundy curtains closed. It was a perfect auditorium for large lectures and shows, and at this current moment was about to begin the introduction to the school for the freshman students.
The headmaster stepped up to the mic, tapping it lightly to get the attention of the auditorium. Immediately the students quieted. In his early 50s and looking more like late 30s/early 40s, Aiden Ementa had that kind of presence. And he used it well. “Welcome to Elemental Academy. Here you will learn how to be a trainer. Coordinating, battling, ranger duty, styling, performing. You name it and we teach it. Of course, you all already knew that,” he chuckled earning some from the students as well. “Let’s face it. There is no point to this other than being forced and explaining what you can read in your packets or have already read. So, sorry for the boring reiteration of the simple stuff. Classes will work depending on the specific teacher, so I have nothing to say about that. Dorms are done by majors, and unless you requested for a roommate, you have your own dorm room in your major’s dorm. In your room, you will find a coat of your size in your dorms color, with its representative pokémon on the back. You are only required to wear this at major events. You will also find a pin representing your dorm in your room. This you must wear always and it must be visible.”
“Each dorm has its own cafeteria. Breakfast is served by us here, as is dinner. You also can make your own food in the kitchens. And of course, we trust you all to be responsible adults, and thus we do not see a reason to ban you from each other’s kitchens and dorms. Lunch and dinner will be served in the main building, which is what we are in. Each room has its own shower and toilet. And every building has public bathrooms.”
“And now that the building stuff is out of the way. On to the more exciting stuff. As you know until you graduate and receive your license, you are not supposed to have more than one, at most two under special circumstances, pokémon. However, as a student at the school, you will be allowed to surpass this limit for learning purposes, and at times we will be doing competitions in which you can win pokémon or eggs, and of course items such as the very expensive evolutionary stones. And to prepare you for the competitive world of being a trainer there will be competitions between dorms, and ones that are by choice. Healthy competitions that is.”
“Lastly in your packets you will have found that a professor’s name is labeled as Guardian for you. This is your advisor and guide while you are a student here. When you are in trouble, we ask that you go to this particular professor. And those of you that received Nagato, I suggest you start an exercise regimen. With that you may leave. Go to your rooms where we have already placed your things inside of. Unpack, and then return here for tonight’s dinner, which is one of the rare mandatory ones. You can follow your maps to your dorms, but let’s face it. Things like a bright red or green building should be pretty easy to find. Good evening for now and I look forward to getting to know at least a few of you. Oh, and good luck.” With that he leaves the stage, and devious smile on his face.

The dorms are all similar to a point. The color schemes being the color of the major, the representative pokémon being place in places. Despite the fact this should seem gaudy or clash, it is well done and each dorm looks magnificent. Each with its own library, computer room, rec rooms. And of course, each has its own unique rooms for that specific major. Such as a styling room for the stylists.
Each dorm room is colored schemed beautifully as well. They are just the perfect size for a student. Room for extra things, but the most important stuff already there. A bed, of course, a tv in the wall, with the ability to hook things up to it, a desk and comfortable chair, closet, bathroom, and a bookshelf with plenty of room in the wall. And a window. Wouldn’t want a fire hazard after all. And every new student’s things were in their room, their coat hanging in the closet, and the pin on the desk.
Once one unpacked, it would be time for dinner. The cafeteria easily rivaled the auditorium in sound. Design was completely different however. The floor was tiles of many colors, each with an elemental symbol in it. The walls changed in color, each being the major’s colors, their pokémon in the strips, and the ceiling an onyx, bright lights illuminating the whole room. It was colorful, and tables were simple wood, with simple chairs that were just comfortable enough, wooden as well. And when the freshman entered they would realize that the only tables free with room, were those in the middle. The upperclassmen had isolated them.
Each table has lines of food on it. A buffet with all kinds of things, each looking delicious, and smelling it as well. However, the upperclassmen of course snickered and watched the freshman.
((Sorry this took so long. I went away on a trip for four days and didn’t have pc access while away, and then I kind of had two days of work which I passed out after so I didn’t get online via PC at all, and as you can see, my phone was not an option. Anyways just have your students unpack in your rooms, and then head to the cafeteria to eat. And for those brave enough to ignore the snickering, the food is probably some of the best you have ever tasted. Also feel free to have some random NPCs interact with them in the dorms or cafeteria if you want. Also everyone will have the teacher Nagato Conversano as their guide, which is exclusive to us RPers. Guess we better start planning some exercise routines
