It was a nice day to be at Azurecoast Academy; the sun was shining, and many bird Pokemon flew in the sky. New students began to flood into the campus, talking amongst each other, grabbing food, or even having a small battle outside, but generally, a wave of excitement was present. People were chatting excitedly about the opportunities Azurecoast presented them, and everyone was eager to get going. Of course, there were a few outliers, as some people groaned about being here, but that currently was a minority of the student body.
Azurecoast boasted some of the best educational opportunities. Ranging from battling to biology, students have many opportunities to jumpstart their Pokemon-related careers. It also boasted a semi-large campus filled with various modern buildings and nature. The modern buildings reflect how new the Academy was, as it only started having classes 49 years ago. Yet, the academy still holds a place as one of if not the best academies in the Pokemon world.
"Greetings, everyone, and welcome to Azurecoast Academy. It is recommended that you head to your dorms before we begin the orientation. Make sure you arrive at the orientation no later than 10 pm. Please consult a staff member if you have any questions. Thank you!" a female voice announced through loudspeakers and intercoms around campus, informing students of what they needed to do.

“It’s the final showdown! Jack’s Rillaboom versus Leon’s Charizard! Both Pokemon have been driven to their absolute limits and have used their Gigantamax!”
“And what a showdown it is! This is the closest we’ve seen Leon to defeat! Will Jack be able to do what his father couldn’t?!”
The crowd was on their feet, everyone standing and cheering extremely loudly. It was so loud that it was nearly deafening to anyone who was there. Leon’s theme, reminiscent of the Hall of Fame theme, was playing in the background. This was a battle for the ages—nothing like anyone had seen yet. The undefeated champion Leon’s title was under threat, challenged by a most worthy opponent, the son of Oliver.
“I must say, Jack, I’m impressed with how you’ve been batting. You’re truly Oliver’s son,” Leon remarked.
“Heh, thanks,” Jack smirked, nodding at his Rillaboom.
“But just like I did with your father, I’ll defeat you! Now, it’s champion time!” Leon said his signature phrase, tossing his hat behind him
“I don’t think so! Rillaboom, use Drum Beating! WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT!”
“Charizard, Fire Blast, let’s give them all we got!”
The two attacks collided at full force. Because Drum Beating was a Grass-type move, you’d assume that Fire Blast would overpower it.
But it didn’t. Somehow.
The intensity of the clash had everyone questioning who was still up. Both Pokemon were completely exhausted - and both were likely seconds away from fainting. However, Rillaboom stood strong. It beat its drum aggressively, attempting to get Charizard to fall.
And Charizard did, in dramatic fashion.
The scene faded….
The scene was only a scenario playing out in Jack’s mind. It was a daydream, but Jack didn’t seem to realize it. He was still, well, very much living in it.
“AND JACK WILSON HAS DONE IT FOLKS! HE HAS BEATEN THE UNDEFEATED CHAMPION LEON!” Jack exclaimed. He said this while he was amongst a crowd of students who just entered Azurecoast, which warranted a few stares.
A normal person would be embarrassed by this, but, well, as you could probably tell, Jack wasn’t a normal person.
“Weirdo,” one guy in the crowd said, immediately catching Jack’s attention. Jack approached the man, shifting through the crowd to reach him. In terms of height and strength, Jack was certainly superior.
“Excuse me? Wanna repeat what you just said?” Jack towered over the guy, looking like he was ready to beat him up. The male student was frightened
“N-n-no, I-I’m sorry…” the man backed away in fear, which warranted a smirk from Jack.
“That’s right, buddy. Now, buzz off, and don’t say that shit ever again,” Jack said, making the student leave.
The students around Jack mostly left the scene, but there were a few people still watching. No one really dared to talk or attempt to help the man, as Jack had a clearly intimidating appearance.

Camilia clenched her fists as she entered Azurecoast’s campus, carrying a light amount of luggage. She looked around at the various buildings and the variety of students among them, a light sigh escaping from her mouth. She was certainly a bit stressed.
The young blonde woman, currently dressed in a white buttoned shirt and black jeans, felt nervous yet also determined—determined to never fail again.
Not too long after Camilia entered the campus, she felt a vibration in her pocket. It was her phone, and it was a call from her father. Without hesitation, she answered the phone, moving away from the crowd.
“I assume you’ve made it to the academy?”
“Yes, father, I have.”
“Good. You know what to do. Don’t you dare disappoint us again.”
“I won’t, father.”
“Alright then, goodbye.”
The call hung up. Camilia sighed once more, slamming her fist to a nearby wall before regaining herself. It hurt a little, making Camilia grunt a little, but it wasn’t enough to permanently hurt her fist; the sting of the pain went away immediately. There was certainly a lot of pressure on her, and her father’s call demonstrated part of it.
Camilia went back to the crowd, walking around. As much as she was pressured to be here, the campus was quite nice, filled with nature and modern buildings. She had visited the place before, and it was just as impressive as the first time. That thinking got her mind off of the pressure, and she regained her more composed, mature self the more she walked.
