Chapter 3

It has been half an hour since Tye arrived and entered the campus and half an hour of searching before finding the male dorm rooms of the gigantic campus.

Located around the back of the school, the dorm rooms were a 5 story building, there was a reception, a young woman but he didn't quite pay attention to her.

There wasn't a bicycle rack, but he could bring it to his dorm room, which was room 88.

After 3 fleets of stairs, he finally reached his room, compared to his room at home, which was smaller but had better quality wallpaper and furniture.

It was a single bed, showing that the students weren't with a roommate, after putting the bicycle on one side, he let out Lancelot and Bedivere, since having a Pokemon out without a Pokemon Battle ongoing was against the rules, he had recalled them once he entered the school.

They both looked around the room, Lancelot jumped and sat on the bed, Bedivere tried and failed to get onto the bed, and Lancelot helped it up after a moment.

Tye went unto packing out his suitcases into the various draws before placing the three empty suitcases under the bed.

(School On Campus Chapel)

"Mic Check 1,2,3" "Mic Check 1,2,3"

"Welcome, students and faculty, to a brand new year of Pokemon Technical Institute."

In the chapel, there were 4 lines of students, all seems to be of a variety of ages, the staff contained, teachers, deans, department heads, and security are all standing around the students.

The Director of the school went through his speech, and around the end, he said, "Now a word from your Head Boy and Head Girl, Romain Shapel and Jean Auguston."

He walked off to the side and took a seat in the row of chairs lined up as the two Head students got up and went to the podium.

After they went up, the heads of department spoke, then the grade supervisors, and finally the vice principal.

After an entire hour of speeches, all the students led by their homeroom teachers were guided toward their classrooms.

Tye's class number was B-8, the 8th class out of the Beginners, his homeroom teacher was a man in his 40s, he had a head full of lush red hair, and sharp features.

After entering the classroom, the students sat down as the teacher did a role call, name after name went by when finally Tye's name came up as the third to last, although the teacher called each name one by one and everyone answered to their own names, Tye didn't remember a single one after 5 seconds, their existence faded out of his mind without any struggle.

"My name is Devan Smith, you may call me Mr. Smith, I am a 4-time Indigo League winner and an

in-training Professor of Pokemon evolutions, I will be your homeroom teacher for your beginner classes, any questions?"

A girl raised her hand as Mr. Smith pointed toward her, "Where would I find the syllabus?"

Her voice sounded high-pitched but that didn't perturb Mr. Smith,

"Good Question, your syllabus shall be given to you by the end of the day, if you don't end up getting one, your respective dorm room receptionist will have copies ready to be given out at any point in time, any other questions?"

A boy this time raised his hand and Mr. Smith pointed towards him, "Sir, is there a map of the campus?"

His voice sounded deeper than the other boys he heard whispering around him, "A map is in front of the school gates, with a copy of a map will be at your dorm receptionist."

Another girl raised her hand, "Where do we get Pokemon food?"

"Pokemon food will be sold in the in-school Pokecenter and Pokemarts."

Seeing how Mr. Smith responds to questions Tye felt confident about asking, "Sir, will we get a Pokedex or a device to scan the statics of our Pokemon?"

"Great question, but unfortunately, your question will have to wait until your first class, which is Pokemon Simulation battling, your class timetable will be in your dorm rooms as well."

The school bell sounded through the area as Mr. Smith began to pack up, "We will have a second registration period after lunch, so any more questions will have to wait until then,"

Right on time as Mr. Smith was leaving, another teacher entered the class and ordered everyone to follow him.

----

The class shuffled into the simulation room, rows of arcade cabinet-styled machines could clearly be made out, and the teacher who looked like a man in his 30s stood in front of them while the students stood in a group in the back.

"Welcome to the simulation room beginner class, I shall be your Pokemon Simulation Battling teacher for the future, my name is Stefan Sim, you all may call me Mr. Sim."

He then patted the machines on his right and pointed towards one of the students randomly, "You boy come up front, you shall be demonstrating what these do,"

"First your name,"

The boy looked nervous, incredibly so, but still, he worked up the courage and introduced himself, "My name is Joe Cannel,"

"Alright then Joe, place the Pokemon you received from the school into this Pokeball holder here."

Joe did just that as the screen lit up with a Bellsprout appearing on the screen, along with 6 states, the moves, and the level it is currently at.

"Joe's Bellsprout here is level 5, a Pokemon's level is determined by their experience, there are 6 different experience groups, but that will be explained in another class,"

He pointed at the stats chart next, "This is the Bellsprout's stats, these 6 numbers are incredibly important to Pokemon battling, but is too long a topic so shall be explained in another class, this here is Bellsprout's move set, Vine Whip alone since Bellsprouts learn the move Growth at level 7 and Wrap at level 11, Moves will be explained in another class."

" When you wish to battle an opponent, there will be a pre-registered opponent already registered, if you wish you create your own opponents, you simply press 'Create' but I would recommend you don't touch this option for now."

"You can only battle gym leaders after you beat the one before in order, from 1 to 8, for this demonstration, I shall have Joe battle the first gym leader, Brock the rock-type specialist,"

After clicking around a few times, a battle was created between a level 5 Bellsprout and a level 11 Geodude with 2 Pokeball icons in the top left corner.

"The green bar in the bottom left corner is Bellsprout Health, and the green bar in the top right corner is Geodude's health, there are two options you can do when you reach this stage, you can select a move or you can switch to another Pokemon if you have one available if you don't have one available, this screen will over show the one you are battling with."

After a few minutes of exchanging moves, Bellsprout's health was 10% of what it once was, along with a color change from green to red, "Now, as Bellsprout's health lowers after damaging moves,"

Another exchange of moves happened as Bellsprouts Health drops to zero, "Once Bellsprouts health has dropped to zero, it is considered fainted and cannot be used anymore, since this is Joe's only Pokemon, the battle is considered a loss."

"Since this was a demonstration this loss won't be displayed on Joe's record, this goes for all of those who wish to try the simulation in today's class, this is the only time where you will get such a privilege."

While all this explanation was going on, Tye was finding similarities between these simulations to his past, from the levels and stats to the Battle system as a whole, but he didn't quite get into that as he went up to a machine that was beside a window, allowing for cool breeze as he used the simulator.

Placing Lancelot and Bedivere into 2 of the 6 slots there, their statistics showed up.
