New students, please read this before posting.  I also suggest existing students reread it as well, as some (very) slight modifications have been added.  

[James Wharton]

Glancing down at his watch James decided it was about time to get going to his next class if he didn't want to be late.  Or his standard of late that is.  With his binder, agenda, and pamphlet in his arms he headed over to what his schedule said he had this period.  And his schedule said he had Pokemon Breeding 101, and it was never so, so that's what he was having.  Speed walking through the hallways he tried to go as quick as possible to this class.  Occasionally he would ask some students for directions to the classroom for Breeding, however it didn't slow him down very much.

As he walked through the doorway he looked in awe at the Sylveon for a moment.  Eevee was his favourite Pokemon, and Sylveon was his favourite evolution of Eeevee, even though it was somewhat Girly.  However he didn't stare too long, he looked around the classroom at the other Pokemon.  They were all varying in typing and size, kinda, and one even had some eggs curled up with him, or her.  Turning his attention to the teacher now James spoke.  "Uh, hello Miss.  Would it be alright if I asked if you have any notes or anything from last class?  I was kinda sick that day, so I missed out on class.  I'll get any homework done if I missed any."  He said, making sure to get all the notes and homework he might have missed on the first day of class.  It was a real shame really, that he had to miss the first day of Breeding 101.  However it couldn't be helped, since he didn't want to give a cold to the rest of his classmates.

[Lilith Sinclaire]

The day had finally come. Lilith had been waiting patiently for her second Pokemon Breeding class to start up. During the last class, Lilith had overslept and ended up missing majority of the class and even lost her chance to receive a Pokemon egg. Not this time though, the future Pokemon Breeder was more than determined to make it to class on time today. She held the Espurr inside of her dainty arms as she rushed toward the teaching center. She was quite confidence that she would probably be one of the first, if not the first student to arrive in class. After about five more minutes of making her way inside of the teaching center and scoping out the correct classroom, she had finally made it to her destination. She would allow herself to slow down a bit and give herself a little time to catch her breath. She would then glance around the room, admiring her teacher's Pokemon. Her gaze would then fall up on the friendly-looking teacher sitting at her desk. Lilith would make her way over toward the teacher and give her a small curtsey. She would apologize for arriving late to the first class. Once the teacher gave her reaction to her apology, the raven-haired trainer would then turn around and walk toward one of the empty desk located toward the front of the classroom. She would place her Espurr onto her lap and place her notebook and pen onto the desk. She would know wait for the other students to arrive and for the teacher to start her lecture. 

[Alice Geissler]

And there was actually a second breeding class going on. She had been studying about how those eggs hatch recently since she had been taking care of a Larvesta egg until it hatched into a male Larvesta. Now was the time to get to class as the breeding teacher would teach about a whole new subject today. Upon reaching the classroom, she had seen two familiar faces, one was a boy that had accompanied her on that mission and a girl that she had met at the party. Flynn had been following her, but he was still scared of a huge classroom which was understandable as he was a baby. She bent down and held the Larvesta in her arms as she sat down at a desk next to Lilith and her Espurr. Maybe Flynn would feel comfortable if he were to be with his trainer for a while which seemed to work a little. She stroked his fur which felt soft in her hands and tried to calm him down. Maybe a new lesson can help her understand about what kind of eggs are produced by different Pokemon.

[Benji Aldaine]

Sadly Benji had missed the first Pokemon Breeding class. By the time he had been fully enrolled and settled in the class had already finished. He had been always quite interested in breeding and the knowledge that came with it. So this class would be quite fulfilling for him he hoped. He glanced at his watch slightly as he walked through the crowded halls. His small Eevee, Castiel, was happily following him. The little guy bumping into his legs everytime Benji had to stop and move around other students. At first the feisty male Eevee had been quite a handful. Not wanting to go back in his ball, or not listening to Benji at all. Though that had seemed to be a phase and now Castiel was quite the spunky little friend. Since Castiel disliked Pokeballs so much Benji had thought it would be a good idea to bring him along to class today. He hoped the little guy would like it and maybe even learn something too.

When they entered into the classroom a few students were already seated inside. Benji nodded to the teacher with a smile and took a seat in the second row. Castiel excitedly jumped up on the desk, rounding a few times before sitting down comfortably. The Eevee scanned the room with big eyes at seeing all the different Pokemon. When he noticed the Sylveon at the teacher's desk, his ears popped up with curiosity. Benji patted his Eevee on the head, "Maybe you can go say hi later," Castiel looked at him and if Pokemon could blush this one definitely was.

The Mana student let out a chuckle and reached in his back pocket taking out a slightly wrinkled pamphlet. He had picked it up this morning and hadn't had time to read it until now. Since he had missed the first class it would be good to read up on everything so hopefully he wouldn't be too far behind. Opening to the first page he let his eyes scan and absorb all the information. He'd hopefully be finished reading by the time the class started.

[Akihito Kamakura]

Making his waytthrough the hall with Drago his Axew on his shoulder. That was becoming a common site now. Aki was known as the 'Boy with the Axew in his shoulder'. It ddidn't really bother him nor Drago. Akihito had thought of himself as a loner know. The Lava student had tried to be make friends but they were caught up in other matters. It didn't bother him, he had his Pokémon to keep him company. Entering in the Eeveed Drago scanned the room. There were eggs with sleeping Rapadash. A Nidoqueen sitting next to the windows, he knew that she looks gentle but looks can be deceiving. As hr took a step he was almost ran over by a Luxray that paid him no mind and went on with its business.

After the lightning type was on out his way he made his way over to a desk near middle of the room as he did for Island NNavigation. He was hundred times more excited about this class then that one. He saw Alice in this class, she was a nice girl and she had a new Pokémon with her. He would have to inquiry about that after class. He looked up at the teacher. She was sitting behind her desk and on the desk was the Eevee evolution Sylveon. Last time his sister was home before hhe left she had one. It was an affectionate Pokémon and very attached to his sister. Axew was now sitting in the desk as he did in Navigation looking at the different Pokémon and such. Aki had barely missed the first class so he didn't want to miss this one. He sat quietly waiting ffor class to start.

[Tanya Christianson]

Once again, Tanya headed off to Breeding. It wasn't one of the more interesting classes in her opinion, but she knew that she probably should make an effort to learn about Breeding as well. Nicholas trotted beside her, looking very proud as the two of them entered the class. Heading back to her seat, Tanya got out her notebook and pen while Nicholas looked towards Ms. Brennan's Luxray, a sense of longing in his face.

"Maybe we can talk to him later." Tanya reassured him, rubbing his head and noticing the look in his eyes. Nicholas looked indignantly at his trainer, turning away from the Luxray to give her a disapproving look. Tanya chuckled and rubbed his head one more time before turning back to the teacher. Once he thought that Tanya wasn't look, he looked back at the Luxray, which Tanya noticed out of the corner of her eye.

[Annie Prince]

Annie was starting to dread classes, but she seemed to remember that Ms. Brennan was pleasant and pretty good at making things comfortable. And nothing too horrifying could be coming up in breeding class... right?

Despite her attempts to comfort herself, Annie was nervous as she entered the classroom. The environment was nice, as it had been the previous time, and that helped her relax a little bit.

Heading to the same seat she had taken before, Annie couldn't help but smile to see that her roommate was sitting right there. The first class, she had known nothing about Tanya and even found her unpleasant. Funny how much had changed since then...

She took her seat, nodding pleasantly, and pulled out paper and pencil with which to take notes. Hopefully, everything was going to be just fine in here.

[Cal Emerson]

Cal casually slipped into the class, noticing that there were quite a bit of students here already. Though looking at them he knew that the class hadn't started yet thankfully. This was his first day at the Academy and even though they said he could skip the classes this week to settle in he didn't want to. After all he planned to be a Breeder in the future and didn't want to miss any of the Breeding classes if possible. He had already missed one and that made him sad enough. He had read the pamphlet a few times and hoped he wouldn't be too far behind, yet he had studied a lot about breeding already so he was sure he'd do just fine. He took a seat in the front row, looking around, not knowing anyone yet was a bit of a bummer but he shrugged it off. He noticed that some of the students had Pokemon out, and the Teacher even had her own about as well. He only had two of his own at the moment so he decided on Ivy. She was a bit more calm, and he was sure Ren would be a bit too...energetic to stay still in this class.

He grabbed a ball from his bag, releasing his Venipede Ivy. She landed with a plop on his desk, and looked around with her lazy-looking eyes. She looked like she had been sleeping and after seeing where she was she let out a huff and curled up on his desk. "You're seriously going to sleep? Come on, this class will be interesting!" The bug glanced at him with annoyed eyes and giving her answer closed them again to doze. "Whatever your loss," he chuckled and put on his headphones. It wouldn't hurt to listen to some music before the class started right? He hoped it wasn't a problem, he'd take them off when it started. Of course unless he got distracted...which was common.

[Aile Reese]

It was Aile's second or third day here at the academy, and he liked it so far. Though he didn't really care for the uniform, he was glad could at least pick the color he wanted that went with his dorm. It was his second class, with the first being Island Navigation. It was an interesting class, but at the very least, it was helpful.

So today, Aile was heading towards Breeding 101, one of the classes he had willingly signed up for, due to his fascination with his father's profession. Given, he knew some of the basics from the simplified stuff his father talked about, but the male didn't know much more than that, so he figured it would be the perfect opportunity to try and learn as much as he could about the subject. Though, apparently he had just missed the first class by a few days, which made him worry, would the teacher be nice or strict. The pamphlet he picked up only told so much, and this was information he found to be rather vital. At the very least, she seems to enthusiastic about the studies from the pamphlet, the boy thought. The Totodile seemingly glued to his head paid the boy no mind, though the timid Aron that he had was trying to hide from the world. And as he walked in, he said to the little Aron quietly," Mega, it'll be alright. Worst case scenario is that we get lost together."

Aile's first thought as he entered the class room was, I thought there would be more people here. And he continued to look around, but he couldn't recognize any faces, nor uniform colors, though he did notice the various pokemon around the room and was glad that the pokemon were allowed to be out and about.

Where do I want to sit, Aile said quietly. As he surveyed the room, it all seemed nice, but he knew no one here, or at least he didn't think he knew anyone. So, Aile quietly walked towards an, but saw a friendly looking guy with a cute little pokemon next to him. I just hope appearances aren't deceiving, Aile thought as he sat down next to the boy with the little dragon with Chompers still attached to his head, and the Aron promptly laying across Aile's feet as he sat down, pulling out some paper and a pencil.

"That's a cool pokemon you got there, mind if I ask what its name is. I'm Aile by the way."

It was awkward. Aile didn't really know how to approach people with out being too awkward, so he just hoped that the male would respond in a kind manner, hopefully overlooking his awkwardness.

[Crispin Yates]

Once again Crispin made his way to his Breeding class.  This time he had Jove the Galvantula as a hat, as was the usual, Cecillia at his side, and the Skitty he hatched from the egg he got last time in his arms.  He wanted to show that he was able to hatch the gift he got, as well as keep her out in case it turned out that was their unofficially assigned homework.  While he didn't really know if she was the type to hand out homework like that, he'd rather not tempt fate.  Besides, he was proud at hatching her, why not show it off a bit!

Working his way over to the same seat he occupied previously that still had his chicken-scratch name tag on, he settled in with Emer the Skitty on the desk.  Jove continued to try and fail miserably at nesting in his trainer's hair, watching all of the Pokemon in the room around them.

[Richard A. Lambton]

He wanted to make sure he was ready for class. He didn't want to wind up missing notes or missing basic information just because he forgot a pencil, a notebook, or folder so he spent his time getting ready before he head out for class. He wasn't even sure why he was taking this class, but he gathered it'd probably be interesting. All that said, he was pretty nervous about the whole thing.

So, with a backpack over his shoulder, and his newly evolved Sylveon walking next to him, he headed to the Teaching Center, and soon after the Breeding Wing. He entered the classroom, noticing the Sylveon on the desk, then proceeded to look around spotting several different Pokemon around the room. He also noted that there wasn't a lot of students in the room either, or simply just a lot less than he expected. There was also that one person he went on that awful mission with taking the class too. He took a seat in the middle of the room, and brought out a notebook. Liara took it upon herself to sit next to his legs. He wrote down a note to ask the teacher for the previous lesson that he missed.

[Deirdre Brennan]

[/font] Waiting until it seemed most of the students that would be there that day were in their seats, she finally stood and walked to the front of the class. Melon the shiny Luxray finally finished wandering around the class and patted up to sit down right next to Brennan, eyes watching around the class. He seemed to glance to the little Shinx that had hatched the class before, eyes twinkling, but otherwise stayed put.

Clearing her throat, Ms. Brennan smiled over the class and began. “Hello again everyone, and hello for the first time for some. For those who missed my last class, my name is Deirdre Brennan. I see you’ve all found your seats, and if you would write your name down on the name card for your desk I’d appreciate it. Also, Pokemon are more than welcome to be out of their Pokeballs in my class as long as they get along well with others and don’t take up too much room.

“With that out of the way, I wanted to formally thank everyone who volunteered to help with the attack. It was no easy thing to do, and took a great amount of courage to do it. Now that it’s over for the time being, all we can focus on now is trying to move forward─so that’s exactly what we’re going to do. I know I gave most of you eggs the last class as a reward for being here and not being late. I see some of you have the babies out, and it’s wonderful to see them! If you have them with you, I’d love to see how they hatched and how they’re coming along. Tanya, I know both Melon and Plum are glad to see their little Shinx doing so well. Did you give the little guy a name?”

Giving the student a chance to reply, she turned to the rest of the class and tilted her head. “What about the rest of you? Had anyone happened to hatch or breed any eggs since our last class?” Deirdre knew last time at least one student had been running late, so she hoped this way would give anyone who might be this time a chance to show up before she started giving out new information.

[Benji Aldaine]

Just as he closed the pamphlet the teacher began to speak. Luckily he was a fast reader and he smiled, stuffing the paper into his bag and focused on the front of the class. As she continued to speak he quickly grabbed a pencil and went to scrawl his name on the blank nametag stuck to his desk. Castiel tried to play with the pencil as he wrote and Benji laughed quietly, batting him away as he finished writing.

After that his Eevee decided to listen as well, ears perked and focused on what was being said. Benji smiled, patting the small Pokemon on the head as he took in everything the teacher was saying. When she mentioned giving out eggs last class he let one of his eyebrows raise in curiosity. Would she do the same this class? He had never had a Pokemon egg before and it seemed like something fun to actually raise a Pokemon and hatch them. He hadn't been a part of the attack on the city, so that part of the conversation wasn't directed towards him yet he listened politely. When she finished asking if anyone had hatched or bred he leaned back in his seat to let the others speak. He hadn't been in the last class so there really wasn't anything he could say.

[Alice Geissler]

Since the baby Larvesta would need some company, she released Missy the Misdreavus out of her Pokeball. The female ghost was happy to be out and looked over at the Larvesta on her lap. And Alice had believed that Missy could be a good babysitter for this Larvesta since she had been present when he was unborn. The ghost tried to calm the scared Larvesta down which was working a little as he had stopped shaking in his trainer's arms and looked at the teacher curiously. The breeding teacher had asked about what kind of Pokemon had hatched from those eggs last time. "Well, I've been spending time with the baby Absol and he's doing good. On the other hand, I do have a baby Larvesta that I hatched recently and Flynn's here with me right now." Flynn seemed to be curious about his surroundings as he looked at the Sylveon and then at the other Pokemon that the teacher had sent out.
