"E-eh...?"
The display only caused Honoka quite a bit of confusion.
"Is this like a mock survival game or something? Like 'Battle Royale'? Where is the person controlling this toy...?" she asked, trying to make some sense of the ridiculous scene she was looking at.
"'Bas-tards...'?" asked Honoka, hearing Itsuki's reading.
"W-why are they cursing us out all of a sudden?" she asked, despite probably no one knowing the answer. "Aren't we supposed to be their prized students or something? This has got to be some kind of a joke..." she said. "Or..."
She...
Honoka smiled.
"I hope so!" she replied to Takeo, before looking back to the stage and turning to the blue-clothed boy beside them. "Itsuki-san? Why don't you try checking the stage up there? There's a podium and all... maybe something is there?" she suggested politely. She was doing her best...
"Tsuneo-san, then... that's a nice name. Ahaha... I-I'd give you a water bottle if I had any, but..." Honoka gave another sheepish chuckle in return. This guy probably just took whatever sedative they gave us pretty badly. I hope he's okay...
"They probably have fountains in the halls, so...
"I-it's not there? But how could that be?" asked Honoka, before reaching for her own cell phone and music player. "A-ah! Mine are lost, too! Why would the school take them from us?" she asked, now looking visibly more nervous. But, her attention was diverted when...
A young man wearing glasses...
"N-no way to open it?!" repeated Honoka, her voice filling with fright.
"U-um... er... this has to be... fabricated, somehow. No criminal could possibly do this without anyone seeing, correct? The only explanation... is that the faculty is putting this together. I-I mean, we're Ultimate...
"Ehehe, you probably know me~." responded Honoka in a joyful tone.
"I starred in a couple of recent movies- 'White Papillon'... 'Temporal Dissonance'... and 'Scizothemia'." she explained, before clearing her throat. "See, I can still do the lines- 'Michael, please! I-I won't leave you! No...
"A-ah. But even with that possibility... d-did anyone else pass out near the school gates? I thought it was just my imagination, but my mind went blank for a while and when things went back to normal, I was standing in here..." Honoka said worriedly.
"Do you think that 'sleeping gas' could...
Upon Nariko's entry, Honoka's expression brightened into a soft smile.
"O-oh, yes, you're probably correct! But... I've heard Hope's Peak is full of eccentrics as well as geniuses. Do you think that this might all be a part of some weird entrance ceremony? At my last high school, they had...
"A-ah, Itsuki-san! No need to get all worked up..."
A more timid, high-pitched voice echoed from the rear of the auditorium. The group of males were greeted by a young woman with black hair who was wearing a long, crimson scarf.
HONOKA AMAYA
"I'm so sorry I'm late, I had this weird dizzy...
Basic Premise:
The setting is in Britain, in a historic little hamlet on the idyllic (yet slightly boring) countryside plain. Completely normal, except for the stasis-ridden gems underneath the ground itself. Hiding in a telluric chasm laden with chalcedony deposits are countless stones...
As the pair made their way into the forest, they were greeted with the sounds of nature, small Fletchling flitting from branch to branch, likely fledgling Pokemon trying to test their skills at flying before truly taking off. The grass rustled with numerous Pokemon, though none there were in...
The union of the two budding Trainers brought a smile to Adrian's face- as the moment passed, he couldn't help but reminisce about his own very first adventure alongside Pokemon, quite a few years back- six, was it?
"Having each other's backs will probably be a boon to you in a lot of...
Adrian gave a mildly pleased grin upon seeing Aleska appearing to be set on her choice. The faster they could make this choice, the easier it could be for him to get his rear end back to Castelia City. She promptly called her novel starter Pokemon out of its capsule and gave it a name- he was...
As Aleksa drew near, the blonde-haired young man looked up. He narrowed his eyes, going over the photographs that Sycamore had shown him in his own mind.
"You're... Miss Aleksa, isn't that right?" he asked with a furrowed brow. "You're one of the kids that signed up for the Lumiose program? To...
Aquacorde City was its quiet self, even on such a bright May morning as this one. The gentle, flowing harmony of the water from the fountain and Aquacorde River was enough to ease the silence so that it seemed more alive. On a wooden bench, a young man sat silently, gently craning his neck over...
