Tojuro got up and walk around to find a clock. While avoiding everyone he knew just in case. He found himself in the lunch room and saw the clock, five minutes in till class. He just sighed as he made his way to the dorms. He change into his only clothes that were clean and not torn. His school uniform. Once change he simply bandage up his wounds as best as he could and grab his pokeballs and headed out.
Using the signs that told him where each class was he ran off to his class. Finally making his way to the class. It took him several minutes before actually getting there. Still some what new to this school after all. He opened the door to find no one was there. He slowly walk around the room and sat where the middle seat was and silently waited for the teacher and students to show up.
His mind still on what he was thinking about on the forest but his face didn't show it at all. He just sighed as he rested his chin on his desk and continued thinking about it with his eyes closed. His back still slightly hurting. Hopefully the pain would go away at some point, but for now it was serving a good distraction above all else. He would also have to pay a visit to the cafe for another reason that he came up with last night... He just hope the boss of the place would accept one of his offers.

Antonio entered his classroom hoping that he would not be late to his own lesson. Today would be his first class of the year and he needed to make sure that he could keep the students attention because the subject that he was teaching was a very helpful skill: Survival Training. Antonio was confident that he was experienced enough to teach these students. He did just spend the last few years traveling through every region. He faced nearly every possible natural disaster and experienced several complicated situations. Sometimes, he would be knocking at death's door, but by some luck he would manage to survive. Antonio hoped that these students would not need to face those near-death experiences, but if they did then he hoped that their chances of survival would increase with the knowledge he would bestow upon them.
Antonio looked around and stopped only one students, at least he was not late. He would wait to see if more showed up and he hoped that more students would be in his class. Antonio went to his desk and took a sit to think about his lesson for the first day. He wouldn't overwhelmed them on the first day, but he did need to get one point across so he hoped that by the end of the class all his students would understand what his expectations were.

Antonio "Tony" Reyes
They call me the, "Monster of Adell"
Antonio waited long enough, he would begin class and punish the students who came in late. So far there was one student in class, a silver haired boy who seemed to be preoccupied with his own thoughts. Today's class would be simple enough and with only one student, it would probably go by even faster. Antonio stood up and walked towards the board. He picked up one of the markers and began to write his full name "Antonio Reyes". When he was done, he started listing some items on the board. He wrote: Pecha Berry, Cheri Berry, Chesto Berry, Rwast Berry, Aspear Berry, Leppa Berry, Oran Berry, Persim Berry, and Lum Berry. When he was done, Antonio turned around to face his new student.
"Welcome to Survival Training, we will begin by discussing a very simple, but fundamental topic: Berries," He tapped the board with the pen and pointed at the names of different berries on the board. "Each of these berries cures a different ailment and helps trainers. Do you recognize any of these names? And if you can you tell me what the berry cures?" Antonio grinned waiting to see how much his class knew. Berries were one of the first subjects that trainers learned, but it was also one of the important subjects. Antonio could not count how many times those berries helped him during his journey. If the students did not know about these berries then he would drill the knowledge into their heads. Survival Training wasn't always about a person's athleticism, Antonio had every intention of training their body, but training their mind was just as important.
✺✺ Mood: Happy and slightly hungry. ✺✺ ☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁☁
Tojuro continued to think till he herd writing on the board and then listened to the man. Antonio reyes, a odd but yet simple name to remember half of his name at least. He continued to speak as tojuro look at the list. After giving some thought he spoke calmly "I know a few but not all of them. I normally mix them in my pokemon food when i made them for friends and what not since i cook. If i remember correctly."
Tojuro paused for a bit as he gathered his thoughts. Finally speaking after a few minutes in a kind tone "Cheri berry cures Paralysis, Chesto berry cures sleep, Aspear berry cures freeze, And lum berry cures pretty much anything from what i herd from my father. But all the rest i haven't herd of or used." Tojuro look at the list as he try'd to think what the other berry's could do.
After giving up all his mind could think about wonder how they could cook and how they would taste after being made into pokemon food. After some time he spoke again "Well, i honestly give. I can't think of anymore things they could help with. But i do wonder how they would taste after i make them into snacks." He softly laugh to himself. Thankfully this class could get his mind off his doubt and focus on something enjoyable for once.

Lél walked into his next class, shirt untucked and jacket wide open, scratching at the back of his head as he grumbled to himself with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. He was pretty certain he fell at the bottom of that class with a quiz on the first go around. He had become all around frustrated. Every class it seemed like he was presented with paperwork or meaningless bantering from teachers. He was so fed up, that the actual lesson of his second battle class didn't get the chance to sink in. For the most part, his head urged him to get out of the damnable place and hit the nearest bar. But maybe this final class would salvage the regrets he built up thus far for leaving Hungary behind. The instructor for this class was well built, and had a few scars about him to reassure Lel's motives for being there. Still, he remained silent--never one for talking.
Having arrived from Mrs. Lyon's Advanced Battle Tactics class, Vern felt pretty good about himself. He -for the most part- felt pretty positive about how he did on the quiz, and the lesson for the day was actually pretty interesting! Vern honestly had no idea that Mrs. Lyon's Meganium knew Synthesis and Heal Pulse, nor that her Crawdaunt knew the amazing Swords Dance attack. He and Iris were definitely looking forward to the rest of the year, knowing that they were going to be focusing on non-damaging attacks and support moves first. Oh! And, they were going to be doing battle styles that the Unova League introduced: Rotation and Triple Battles! Yes!
So now, he walked into Survival Training, leaving Iris behind as she talked with Mrs. Lyon about something -Arceus knows what-, Vern saw that his roomie was already there too. "Good morning, Mister Reyes~" Vern greeted his teacher, bowing respectfully upon entrance, then taking his seat far away from the intimidating Lel Odon.
Iris skipped into class, feeling awesome after class with Athena. Sure she was a little nervous about her quiz but she knew that she didn't get below an ninety. That was a given from the get-go. Since her talk and demonstration, she looked at Zoey. "You know Dig, Shadow Ball, Aerial Ace and Foul Play." Iris said, "Aerial Ace and Foul Play are awesome... Dig is a double edge sword and Shadow Ball is to look pretty and had dual psychic types like Mitus. But learning a Status base or non attacking move would be beneficial to you Zoey. We'll start learning one today." Iris, determined as was Zoey since it had been awhile since she learned a new move and after her final battle with Luxray, she needed to step her game up. Especially since Iris had already spoke to Athena about continuing their training. She was so excited for them she could burst.
Iris finally got to the Survival Training with her other favorite teacher Mr. Reyes. She couldn't wait to see what she would doing this year in class. He was favorite mostly because he was the only Survival teacher that wasn't a temp. Once inside she saw Vern and Lel. She waved to Vern and went up to Lel to welcome him.
"Hey there...Lel." She said with a smile. "How do you think you did on the pop quiz?"
Lél glanced up as he heard someone speaking to him. It was one of the girls from a previous class. Well, from every previous class. Were he a typical teenaged guy, he might tease that she was stalking him. However, he hardly made any jokes (having a dry sense of humor that he assumed few would understand and more easily get riled up by it). When that quiz was mentioned, he grumbled and rested his head onto his hand--setting his elbow to rest high at his seat and turning away his head. "How anyvun remember all dohs thingsh in vun day?" He finally said. It was no secret--anyone who even heard him talk would know--that english wasn't his first language. It was his third. If the struggle with translation wasn't bad enough, he wasn't exactly the sharpest ax in the shed either. He knew he wasn't quite as intelligent as his peers, or roommates. It didn't usually bother him. He didn't like to fail. "Have two or three day, do better. Vun... not so much," He finally looked back, and raised a brow as he noticed his more timid roommate on the far side of the room.
Iris sat beside Lel as he asked her how she and others were able to learn and remember all the stuff for the quiz. She got off a little giggle, not to be rude but because she already knew her answer. "Well Mrs. Lyon is my mentor. She's been giving me extra lesson since last year so for me, I would have to make sure that I knew the stuff or else it would be pounded into me during training. Also, it would hate to disappoint her."
Then Iris placed her hand on his arm since his shoulder was high up for her even sitting down, especially they were both sitting. "You know what, I can help you study and stuff. It will be fun. What do you say?"
Iris liked offering her help. It helped make friends, created less stress on students that were worried about their classes and it make the teachers less likely to get mad at poor scores if she was that optimistic about it.
Of course, the only friend he had in class, was sitting next to the one person he was trying to stay away from. "Arceus damn it..." He silently cursed his greenheaded bestfriend, then got up from his seat to go sit by Iris. "Hey Clueless, I hope you don't plan on leaving me out of this conversation!" He greeted, smiling at her. "Mrs. Lyon always has high expectations for her students, and to be fair the material is something we need to already know by the time the class starts. Besides, it's the very basics of battling, knowing how types match-up in a battle." Vern couldn't say much, he'd studied as he was supposed to, but already knew most of the material anyways so it wasn't that difficult. "It is advanced battle tactics. But don't worry about it." His attention turned back to his bestfriend, no longer addressing his scary roommate. "I know I got at least an A! And I definitely got the questions about fire-types right! I mean, I better, 'cause I've got three of them!" Vern laughed, grinning. "So Iris, how well do you think you did? Enough to impress your mentor?"
Iris turned her head to see Vern as he suddenly appeared beside her in the other chair. "Oh um..." she blinked once more. "I wasn't planning on it but since you were seating elsewhere, I wanted to say hi to Lel and talk to him for a bit." Vern then went to talk to Lel about Athena's expectations of her students. Something that was very true of the woman.
Vern then went back to talking to her as he told Iris that he knew that he got an A on the quiz before asking her the same. Adding in a question about if she had impressed Athena.
"You bet I impressed her." Iris puffing up her chest. "I got an A on it for sure. Granted now I realized that I was vague at some points and maybe one or two I talked more about their attacks than their type weakness and stuff I got it in there somewhere and I ever drew a picture of Friar wearing my glasses and holding a pen."
Iris started to scratch her head at that. "That was an odd bonus question but at least it was the easiest one there."
Antonio nodded after hearing the silver-haired boy's reply to his question. He knew a few of the berries which was good. He actually wasn't expecting anyone to know all of the berries unless they took the class last year. He checked the roster which contains a picture of all the students in his current class. This silver-haired young man was Tojuro Kumohira. Antonio heard Tojuro's comment about making those berries into snacks. He was thinking with his stomach and Antonio liked that. "Good job, Tojuro. You are correct, its okay if you don't know what all the berries do, the fact that you know nearly half of them is good enough for today's lesson." Antonio smiled returning to the board where he wrote a status ailment next to each berry to demonstrate what each berry cured. "I suggest you write these down and memorize them. We will be coming back to these berries throughout the year." Antonio looked up at the clock, since he was late coming to his own class, time had run out. He would need to dismiss class very soon. "Looks like my time is up. Next class we will be looking at these berries and I expect everyone to remember what each berry cures. You are dismissed." Once the children left, Antonio sighed in relieved after his first class.
He wasn't sure how interested the students would be learning about berries, but Survival Training wasn't all about brawn. Antonio would be more than happy to throw the children into dangerous situations fitting of a "Survival" class, but would surely mean death. Before he dropped them to fend for themselves he needed to give them a handicap and this was that handicap: his words. He would advise them and hope they paid attention. While the berries were not all that interesting, it could save their lives or the lives of their pokemon in the future.
Antonio's thoughts drifted to Annie wondering how her first class went and what she was doing during this small break. He had an idea about where she might go, but he wished that she would have taken her with him. Annie was still trying to deal with things on her own. Didn't she know she could trust him more? She did say that they could go together next time, but when would that come? Annie made decisions all on her own and he couldn't object. His thoughts drifted to Lilith and he wondered how her class went. She was very popular, but that wasn't a surprise; she was very beautiful, 'sexy' even and the only reason she didn't have students or male staff confessing to her was because of her dark humor and mischievous personality. But I love that kind of humor. Antonio sighed, thinking about her was dangerous. The sound of the bell ringing brought him back to his sense.
Moving to the board, Antonio erased what he previously wrote on the board leaving only the names of the berries. When he was done, he sat back down and waited for his next class to begin. The first student that arrived was a giant. This "child" (and he used that term loosely) was nearly as tall as him! He looked very serious down right mad, was his day not going well? Following him was the skinny asian boy that helped him greatly last year with the invasion of Team Rocket: Vern Keliikoa. He was glad to see him in his class even though he didn't look like the toughest kid (especially compared to the giant that just entered), he knew that he was resourceful and that would be key to Survival Training. The next person to enter was a young woman by the name of Iris Haruno. A very pretty green-haired girl who was cheerful and a friend to all, but at the same time she was one of the toughest students in the academy. She was Athena's pupil and any person that would be willing to train under such a natural disaster was either crazy or strong (or both). This class was definitely looking more lively than his previous class. He didn't want to begin just yet, maybe more students would show up. At least according to his roster, he was suppose to have a couple more people in this class.
Marco entered the classroom after leaving Miss Lyon's Advance Battle Tactics class. Her quiz was definitely an interesting first class assignment. He didn't picture her as that type of teacher to give quizzes. He thought she would be more hands-on experience, but she was probably doing it as more like a survey to see what students did or did not know. He didn't think that he did bad in the quiz, he was confident when it came to pokemon battles and the included all aspects of pokemon battles. Pokemon typing and advantages was one of the most basic knowledge in battles. If he didn't know at least that much after one year in Phoenix Academy then he was not ready for the pokemon league, not even close.
Marco recognize many faces including the ones from his roommates which were both part of his previous class. He smiled seeing them, maybe they could become good friends. One other person was there too, his girlfriend; Marco's smile grew wider. The teacher for this class would be none other than Mister Reyes. He was a giant of a man who taught them Battle Class last year. He learned about weather conditions including the pros and cons. He wondered what he would learn from this man this year.
He walked over to his friends waving hello at them. When he reached Iris, he kissed her cheek and smiled at her. "Hey," he placed his hand on her hand affectionately like any normal boyfriend would do. He then turned to his roommates, "I rather we started with a pokemon battle where we could learn about type advantage first hand. That would have made Miss Lyon's class the best class for the day." Marco decided to give his two cents into this conversation. He was itching for some battles even after that gym class with the crazy teacher who let wild pokemon into the battle arena. While the situation was dangerous, he did like the challenge of facing a swarm of pokemon.
Iris looked up when Marco came into classroom. He started with a wave to them. She was waving back when he reached. She gave a small blush when he smiled at her. At least that meant he wasn't mad at her about the first day back. Then he kissed her cheek, making a blush rise up on her face. When he said 'hey' she replied back with a squeak of a 'hey'. Suddenly his hand was on top of hers as he spoke about the class. Her head was hung low as she looked at the hand, the blush bright on her face. She was silent as he spoke but her mind was a different story.
He's...she started to think as she felt her heart beating... He's holding my hand.... On the inside, she started to squeal. He's holding my hand, he's kissing my cheek. That must mean he's not mad at me. He even smiled at me...Does that mean that he...That he likes...as more than a friend... Does it?! I have to know... I have to know...But how....
Despite the internal monologue, Iris was still just silent and red on the face as she didn't move her hand or react.
