Scott took a seat as instructed, and noticed the men on stage, whom he presumed are teachers. Aspiring trainers filled the rest of the row, while chatter filled the once silent room. Scott brought out his Togepi and placed him on his lap. "Hey Togepi, we finally made it to the school. We're free of Azalea Town." Scott smiled down at his pokémon.

"Pwii!" Togepi cried in agreement.

Richard had recalled his Pokemon prior to exiting the ship, as the students were escorted into the main hall. The scenery surrounding the Academy, as well as the exterior of the Academy itself, were absolutely breathtaking. The interior of the school was equally as impressive, as Richard looked around with child-like wonder in his eyes. Once they made it to the auditorium, Richard took a seat along the front row as instructed. He was brimming with excitement, eager to get things started. He began tapping out another drum beat on his legs, as he was oft to do when he was happy or excited, lightly whispering the lyrics to himself.
 
Nychto recalled his Froslass to her pokeball and shuffled out of the ship, gazing in awe at the sight before him. Simply amazing... he managed to type on his device as he followed the other students to the main hall and sat down with his fellow classmates.

Meanwhile, Imera stumbled off the ship hoping to not be left behind and gave pursuit to the other students along with her Emolga, which could barely keep up while gliding. Every step she took, the guitar on her back made a short twang sound and gathered the attention of some other students. Imera hastily sat down in the front row with Emolga on her shoulder and the two of them let out a brief and silent sigh.
 
Harry's Pokémon were safely tucked away in their Pokeballs as he exited the ship, gawking at the immense structure before him. Oh my God, that is incredible.
 
"Welcome to Tower Academy and congratulations for passing our exams. You have already been placed as you can see, and well congratulations to those that made Ho-oh rank. I am Mrs. P the headmaster here. Now as new students you will be expected to follow rules and regulations, such as the fact that you may not enter any areas listed as off limits. You were provided with information that states how far you can go on the island, and anyone who breaks these rules will be severely punished. Strong pokemon live here, and even some of our third years still need teacher's protection. Just try your best in classes and follow the rules and we should have no problems. Now then I shall let my vice headmaster speak," the woman told them into a microphone.

"I am Johnson Robinson, but just call me Robinson. I am the vice headmaster here, and well Mrs. P said most of the important matters. Anyways beside me are your dorm heads. Your dorm heads are teachers and the only ones that live in the dorms with you. You are to listen to them as they have more power over you than any teacher, barring me and Mrs. P. The one with the red hair is the head of the Suicune Blue dorm, Ace Phoenix. The one with the lavender hair is the head of the Raikou Yellow dorm, Tanaka. And lastly head of the Entei Red dorm with black hair is Kuro Wolf. Tomorrow you start classes and schedules will be given tomorrow morning. For tonight you will follow your dorm heads out of here, and they will tell you the rules of their dorms. Also about ranks. You will learn the perks of those as you attend here. Goodbye for now."

Phoenix was the first to leave the stage, having his blues follow him from the auditorium and back outside. They walked a short walk to a place that was reminiscent of a mansion. It was the colors of Suicune, with the entrance being two large wooden doors that had on the inside everything seemed high class with marble floors and beautiful white walls and fine furniture in golds and blacks, contrasting with the walls and floors. The furniture in the main room consisted of couches and armchairs with coffee tables. Notably there was a door on either side, which was followed by a hallway and then large stairs leading to a room with double wooden doors that had Suicune engraved on them. Between the two stairs were on the first level was another set of wooden doors the same as the ones above them.

"As was stated earlier I am your dorm head. As you can see there are two floors. On the first floor is the meeting room, through that door, and the rec room through that one," he said, pointing to a room on his left and one on his right. "The lower one directly under the two way staircase is the dining hall. Now on my left, your right are the girls dorms. Lower level is Lugia's, and upper level is Ho-oh's. Ho-oh's have no roommates and their own bathroom. Lugia's your bathrooms are private to you and your roommates. So in a sense you have your own.Boys are the same way on the opposite side. Anyways go get settled in and then we will meet in the dining hall. Your names are on your rooms," he explained to them before he left to his own room.

Tanaka had left second, leading his students to a dorm that was similar to a cabin, painted like a raikou, the entrance being two doors made of wood with Raikou engraved on them. The inside was wood for the most part, with comfortable couches that had wood frames, the walls being logs mixed with stones. The whole area being a cabin like feel. Like the Suicune dorm it had stairs leading up to the second floor and to a door at the center between the hallways on either side. Of course it also had double doors between the stairs, on the top and lower level, Raikou on them as well. A single door sat on the right side.

"Welcome to Raikou Yellow. I'm Tanaka and your dorm head. On my right, your left is the boys dorms. Girls are the opposite hallways. Ho-ohs on the second floor, and Lugia's on the first. Your names are on your room doors. For Lugia's you share bathrooms that are large and placed throughout the hallway. Ho-oh's have their owns. The double doors on the second floor are my room if you need anything. The single door is to a rec room. For now though how about you settle in and we'll meet in the dining hall which is through that other set of double doors." Tanaka then left to his own room.

Kuro was the last to lead his students at, likewise walking a short distance to the dorm. Once arriving at the dorm they saw that it was painted in the colors of Entei and was a two story building. The paint though was peeling and the place looked like it hadn’t been taken care of properly, which was confirmed as the students entered through double doors with Entei on them. The inside like the outside was peeling in paint the colors of Entei. Walls looked rundown, and as did the ceiling. Inside were two hallways, two sets of stairs leading to the second floor and another set of double doors that had a wooden Entei carved into them. On the second floor above the area of the double doors was another door, likewise with an Entei carved into it. Also in the room were some worn out couches and armchairs. There was even an old TV on a stand and some board games on a two level table.

“The hallway to the left is the boys’ rooms. Your names will be on your doors. The right is the girls’ rooms. Same as the boys for your doors. At the end of each hallway are the bathrooms. Bathrooms include showers, toilets and urinals for the guys. You may not enter the opposite gender’s bathroom without special permission from a teacher. Your rooms are all on the first floor. Through the double doors is the dining hall. Dinner will be in an hour so go settle in now. My room is on the second floor right above the dining hall where the other Entei carved door is. We'll meet in the dining hall once you settle in.” After explaining the dorms to the new students, Kuro went into his room until dinner.

((Sorry for the long time. Been sick and busy with work. Second years go ahead and post hanging out in the rec rooms [well yellow and blue that is] or just in your rooms. First years is kind of obvious))

[[[OH!!! If you are Lugia rank you have a roommate or two. Obviously for interaction purposes your characters are together. So your roommates will be each other. I hope you guys can figure it out, and if not I'll set up the thing.]]]

"Home sweet home," Abby said to herself as she took a seat in the Raikou Yellow rec room. The tune she sang now was very different than the one she sang the year prior. She didn't like to admit it, but, she was kind of glad to be back this year. If only for one reason.
 
"No kidding. A summer with my mother is not fun," a girl said sitting down next to Abby. She had wavy lavender hair that went mid back and matching lavender eyes. For clothing she wore a Lugia rank Raikou yellow jacket with a brown shirt and skorts with yellow sneakers. "So tell me roomie how have you been?" she asked Abby.
 
"I've been well, Mw," Abby replied as she saw her old roommate again, "I was really glad to spend time with daddy for a bit. I do miss him when I'm here, but when I'm at home, I miss...well... you know who."
 
"Haha. I know. You poor thing. Starcrossed lovers forbidden to love. So romantic. Don't tell Blazil I said that. She'll freak out on me," she said thinking of her best friend. The two had become fast friends due to their uncles both being teachers at the academy and could almost always be found together.
 
"I just have high standards," Abby said as if she was trying to make a defense, "I can't help it I find older men attractive. Most guys our age are immature, and I won't tell Blazil."
 
"True," Abby chuckled, "I just want to see that beautiful man again."
 
Richard took the stairs to the second floor, finding his room and stepping inside. His room, like the Raikou yellow main room downstairs, was a mixture of wood and stone, giving a quaint, homey feel to it. Richard picked up his luggage and put in on the bed, opening it up and immediately getting to work on setting up his things. He took out a laptop, turning it on and putting on some music to work to.

“♪ I wanna lose my mind! Like a maniac and cross the line! Never lookin’ back we’re on the loose! Getting crazy and we’ve gone cuckoo! Gonna party ‘til they take us away! ♪” Richard sang along to the music as he worked, organizing his clothes into drawers, putting up a few small posters, and decorating the room with various knick-knacks. After a few minutes, Richard had finished. He took a seat on the bed, admiring his new living space. He reached into his back-pack, pulling out a Pokeball and releasing Ace. The white silhouette of a Ninjask appeared, before materializing in the air in front of Richard.

“How do you like our new home, Ace?” Richard asked, gently petting the Ninjask’s head. “So I guess I’m Ho-oh rank… whatever that means. No roommates either… so it looks like it’s just you and me, buddy.” Richard thought about the ranking system. He wasn’t entirely sure how it worked, but apparently Ho-oh was a higher rank than Lugia, and somehow he had been chosen as Ho-oh. Did that make him better than the others? Or was it purely bureaucratic nonsense? Richard couldn’t answer those questions with any degree of certainty, though he figured the answer would become clear in due time. For now, he decided to go exploring the Raikou section a bit.

"Why don't you stay here, Ace?" he said to his Ninjask as Richard stood up off the bed. "I'm going to go exploring for a bit."

Richard left his room, closing the door behind him, and headed towards the Raikou yellow rec room. Upon entering, he saw two girls sitting and talking to each other. "Must be 2nd year students..." he thought to himself, considering he didn't recognize them from the boat-ride here.

"Pretty nice place, I must say." Richard said, trying to break the ice with a little small talk.

"I dare you to say that in front of him. We'll have a first day of school incident. Which I guess it was a good thing that you got put here rather than Suicune, or Entei. Uncle Tanaka is definitely the calmest one," she replied before looking up at the sound of someone coming in and speaking to them. "Yeah but nothing as nice as Suicune's rec room," Mw told him.

The rec room was simple with a TV that had a few videogames, and another with a DVD player, a billiards table, a dart board, chessboard, and a few couches with some tables and board games and cards. Everything was of course wood again looking like a family cabin...just a bit more updated.

"I'm Mw and this is Abby. You must be a first year since we don't know you. What's your name?" she asked him.
 
"Nice to meet you, Abby and Mw. My name is Richard, and you're correct about me being first year." he said, taking a look around the rec room. "I can't imagine how Suicune rooms could be nicer than this. It feels so homey here, but maybe that's just me." Richard noticed the nearby chessboard, moving over towards it and idly setting up the pieces.

"I meant they get a lot more things. Like not having to share bathrooms if they are lugia ranked, well other than with their roommates. The better a dorm overall does, the more props their dorm gets. Suicune always does the best with Entei doing the worst. You play chess?" she asked looking at the chessboard that Richard seemed interested in.

((The kind of chessboards that they have: Wooden Chessboard.))
 
"So I guess Raikou is in the middle then..." Richard said as he finished setting up the pieces on the board. "We'll have to fix that then, won't we?" Richard thought about what Mw said. Even though he was new here and how no idea how dorms were judged, he was determined to do the best he could. He now had a goal to strive for, which gave him confidence.

"I love chess." he said in response to Mw's question. "I don't know why, considering I'm pretty terrible at it. Even when I lose, it's still such an interesting game."
 
"Well, you do realize Kuro is head of Entei," Abby chuckled, "Is it really a surprise they do bad?"
 
"Ha good luck with that. The top battler in the school even though he is just a second year is in Suicune. He has top grades and is top in coordinating too. Teachers love him,and he gives reason for them to," she scoffed before laughing at Abby's comment. "I wouldn't define Phoenix as the best either, but him being your favorite I doubt he would be seen as bad by you," she teased her friend.
 
Abby blushed as she shook her head.

"T-that's not true!" she stuttered as she looked down.
