Chapter 1- Ranger School

You know, your first day of school is supposed the best day of the year and honestly, my morning is really sucking. My alarm clock woke me up too early. Ok, it was my fault but it really threw a wrench in my morning. I guess I was too anxious for my first day. There wasn't anything to worry about, right?

My family had moved from Fiore this year. We moved because my dad sold the farm. It's not like we need the money because we are quite wealthy but the offer was a ridiculous amount of money. My mom wanted to move to Almia because it was where she grew up. Grandpa passed away pretty recently and he left the land to us.

I rolled out of bed because there was no way I could go back to sleep. I shuffled towards the bathroom to take a shower and I stubbed my pinky toe on my bed. "HOLY FUCK" I screamed loud enough for the whole region to heard. I slapped a hand on my mouth to hold back the groans of agony. I usually don't swear but I couldn't hold this one back. I wiped the tears forming in my eyes and continued my walk. I turned on the water and all seemed well until I jumped into the freezing water. Once again I screeched and jumped around to avoid the stream to ice cold water. I finished my shower in record times and walked out with a towel on.

"Kellyn, what was that noise I heard earlier" my dad questioned. He was up much earlier than I was because, after all, he is a farmer. "Sorry Dad. I stubbed my toe and then took a really cold shower". He stared at me and then laughed, "Well, sorry about that" but then he got serious, "but try to not scream swears loud enough to cause the Tauros and Miltank to stampede".

My dad is the most hardworking person I have ever met. I really want to be like him. I want to be kind, and smart, and funny like him. I don't want to be a farmer though. My dream is to be a Top Ranger.

"By the way, your uniform is in the kitchen" Dad said. I nodded and grabbed the green outfit from downstairs. I didn't think the uniform was ugly but I didn't think it was really what I expected. I straightened my yellow tie and green jacket and sighed. I really was going to miss my family. I'm not going to see them until I graduate. The school year started already a few weeks ago. I finished my first year back in Fiore but I would graduate in Almia.

I checked the time and noticed that it was almost time for me to go. I walked downstairs to see my whole family waiting for me at the kitchen table. "Oh my goodness, you look so handsome Kellyn" my mom cooed. Jeez Mom. She swallowed me in a huge hug and fixed my hair. "I made your favorite so eat up" she instructed.

I sat next to my little sister and started to eat my waffle. She looked up at me and looked pretty sad. I couldn't blame her because we were practically inseparable back in Fiore. The school that I went to didn't have dorms for the students. "Make sure to write letters, kay" she stated with authority. She had this habit to act like she is the boss. It isn't a lie completely but she thinks that she can order me to do anything. I ruffle her hair, "Of course, Violet".

"It's time for you to head out" my dad says. We aren't much for sappy goodbyes because we all know how each other feel. I still feel like I should say something really meaningful but I don't. We just exchange the usual 'hug and goodbye'.

As I walk through the forest I see all the happy pokémon playing. I wonder what all the people will be like. I hope I make friends. It has never really been a problem but I just feel so stressed about it. What if the students are really mean? What if the teachers are super rude? What if my stuff isn't waiting for me to put away at my room? What if I'm not acceptable? This school is really well known for having great students. All my friends in Fiore told me that all the students are way more skilled than them.

I didn't notice that I had arrived to the gates of the Ranger School. All my worrying covered up all of the 30 minute walk. The sky was cloudless and the breeze was really nice. It turned out to be a nice day even though it started out rough. "Hello, you must be Kellyn. I'm Janice the caretaker" an older looking lady says to me. I return her bright smile, "Yep, I'm Kellyn. Nice to meet you Janice". "Oh, aren't you the polite young man" she responds.

She leads me up some stairs and I see the campus. It was much bigger than the one in Fiore. She leads me to a smaller building. "Go inside and talk to Mr. Kaplan and Ms. Claire. They are going to make sure you know the basics of capture. Once you are done, meet me inside the large building" Janice instructs. I walk in and honestly I was nervous. There was no reason for me to be nervous but I was. "Hey new recruit" a tall man calls. "Excuse him. I'm Ms. Claire and he's Mr. Kaplan" the smaller lady with straight black hair says. Mr. Kaplan poses and flips his spiky black hair" Are you ready to prove your worth" he shouts. I didn't know this school was so intense. A Pikachu comes out of nowhere and he tosses a styler to me. It looks identical to the one's in Fiore. With ease, I capture the rowdy Pikachu. "He will be perfect for our army to take over the world Ms. Claire" Mr. Kaplan laughs. She seems to ignore him and walks toward me to take the styler. "Wow, that was really impressive" she compliments. Ms. Claire leans in really close and says "Don't listen to Kaplan. He's trying to mess with you" she laughs.

I found myself being lead by Janice once again but towards a classroom. This school is really nice and big. I feel myself sweating as Janice knocks on the door. She gives me a reassuring smile and I can see why she's a caretaker. She opens the door and I nervously follow. The classroom looks pretty average except for the fact that a dozen eyes are glued to me. I wish I was a turtle so I could hide in my shell. Janice pushes me a little and my mind is snapped back into reality. Oh. My. God. Why am I so nervous? Why is it so hot? "Hello new student. My name is Miss April" said the teacher with straight brown hair. I walk forward towards her and I feel my face heat up with every step. "Class, this is Kellyn. He is from Fiore. Make sure to give him a warm welcome" she looks for an empty seat and points towards a seat in the front of the room "Why don't you sit next to Rhythmi and Keith".

I sat in the seat and couldn't help to look at the people sitting next to me. The boy to my right, Keith, has spiky auburn hair. He is practically sleeping while Ms. April is talking. No, he is sleeping. I can tell because he is drooling all over his notes. Gross. I look to my left and see Rhythmi. She is so interested in whatever Ms. April is saying that she won't notice me staring at her. She has really interesting hair. It's blonde and wavy with lots of volume. It reminds me of a cloud. Her eyes are really interesting too. They are yellow but it reminds me of lightning. Ms. April must have said something funny because she giggled. Wow, that was really cute. Wait, did I call her giggle cute. Well, it was. It was soft and angelic. I need to stop being so drawn to her.

"Ok, class over for now", Ms. April said. Once she walked out of the room the class turned to chaos. It's like everyone ran to me. I was bombarded with all types of questions. Some personal and some just weird. It seemed like they would never end. "Hey, hey give him some space" a voice commanded. It turned out to be Rhythmi. "I'm sure you can talk to him later", she said. The classmates all grumbled away and soon it seemed somewhat peaceful around me.

"Wh- What? Wh- Where am I"? It looks like Keith just woke up. He turned to me and pointed a finger at me "Who are you"? Wow, so he really was out like a light. "Um, I'm Kellyn. I'm new today". Suddenly a sparkle was in his fiery eyes. "New? That's perfect! I'm Keith, your new best friend and rival" he exclaimed. He is really a straightforward guy. "N-nice to meet you Keith" I stutter. I'm not really sure how to respond to his claim. "Keith, you need to calm down" Rhythmi scolded. "Hello, I'm Rhythmi. Nice to meet you". She sent me a 10/10 smile and I just stood there staring at her. I noticed that Keith was analyzing my reaction so I quickly returned the smile. "So, I'm not really familiar with how this school works and I still have no idea how to navigate through this school" I admitted. Janice was really helpful but she only dropped me off at my classroom. Rhythmi stood up and motioned for Keith to do the same. She grabbed my hand and laughed, "Well, we better get started with your tour".

She pulled my hand and Keith pushed me out of my seat. Next thing I knew, I was running out the door. This was the start of my great adventure.

Hey you guys!

So I've never actually written a fanfiction before so hopefully this isn't too bad. I really felt inspired after school one day and decided that I would write a fanfiction.

I picked Kellyn x Rhythmi because there isn't enough out there for this couple. I think it's really cute so I put on my thinking cap and started to write. Sorry if the characters are a little OOC because I wanted to put my own spin on them. This story is going to follow the game as much as I can but I haven't played the game in a while.

I really like comments because it helps me understand what the reader wants and thinks of this story.

Peace
