Room 101

Needless to say, Becca ran towards the dorms, she wanted to be the first one there. Considering her history in track, it wasn't much of a competition. Becca fumbled with the lock, then burst into the room, leaving the door wide open for her dorm mates. A huge smile decorated her face as she entered. She glanced around the entry way. Noting the lack of stuff, she knew that no other trainer had gotten in the dorm before here. Good. That way she could choose the first room.

Sliding off her shoes, Becca toed her luggage into the dorm. Now, Becca couldn't ever say she was never in awe before. However, this was beyond what she had actually expected for her dorm. It was...ginormous! Three bedrooms lined the walls. The pictures and decorations that added character to the room were nothing short of complete elegance. The trainer really didn't want to mess up the place considering it looked too nice and pristine to dirty. So, Becca made a mental note to keep the place clean.

Turning the one bedroom farthest away from the bathroom, she entered with her bags in toe. Becca hadn't packed as much as the other trainers had. So she didn't know what her brother had been complaining about. He brought just about nothing.

Her room was a blank slate, however the elegance was still there in the crown molding way up above her head. A white fan spun around, keeping the air fresh withing the blank room. The ginger haired trainer was glad for the blank slate of a room. That way, Rika could use her creativeness to help her decorate.

As soon as she finished observing the room, Becca plopped the large suitcases on the floor and the carrying bags on the neatly made bed. After a few long minutes, she finished unpacking. Her everyday clothing hanging up in her walk in closet, and her night gowns in the white dresser. The suitcases where stored in the closet, in case she went home to visit.

Smiling, she walked back to the main room and slid onto the sofa. It was soft, like one of those clouds you see on a summer day. Nuric sat in front of the window, his eyes glued to the Pokemon that swam by. 'Seel, Staryu, Goldeen, Lanturn, Tympole, Alomomola, Luvdisc'

Quite dizzy after waking up and coming all the way over, Kanna dropped all her bags and everything straight on the floor. Looking around, the girl noticed that the dorm had an elegant design - so fancy and complicated. That might chance soon though and it'll probably get messier. Knowing Reto, the blue haired adolescent had figured that the moment they settled down, her best friend would start a pillow fight. Only problem is, that she'd always forget that Ceylon would go and pwn her shortly afterwards. Well, maybe she's learned her lesson from that by now, considering the countless mistakes of it from before.

The Lucario had walked in shortly, Velia following after. Ceylon had dropped all the bags he had been carrying silently, which included the ones wrapped around his arms, balanced on the tip of his nose and head, and one leg. How he managed it would be a mystery, but... he was a Lucario after all. The power of aura was always interesting. After each one had dropped down carefully, Ceylon looked out the window, closing his eyes and sensing the auras around. Doing a quick count of all the Pokemon in the room, he had whispered into Kanna's ears, before it was noted that the number of auras of Pokemon was correct.

Velia, the blue Sylveon, was seated on one of the beds, the one right in the middle. Grooming herself, her feelers had extended to Kanna's hands, still wrapped around it. However, they soon let go and shrunk back to its normal size. When seeing Nuric, she let out a shy cry that was soft, but audible. "Sylve...!"

Aryuna was sleeping on the same bed, obvious to tell that the Togekiss was exhausted from carrying so much luggage and bags in one day. However, it was still the way she looked was still elegant and caring, as if it didn't really matter what she did.

With each Water-type Pokemon passing by, Kanna quickly told Ceylon, "Could you try and spot the aura of that... Shiny Magikarp?" She was determined to win, but of course, she was going to act as if she had little interest in it. However, Neesan was most likely going to help her... So, she might as well make the best of it.

As soon as the order was given, the Lucario had knelt down with one leg and one palm was on the ground. Eyes closed, and the small black appendages raised up, indicating that he was sensing and seeing if there was a specific aura that he could spot. A few moments later, he had shook his head, "Nothing right now. The aura I sensed of it was faint, but too far from here."

Letting out a sigh, Kanna just grabbed a bag of potato chips, opened it, and started nibbling on a few pieces. Looking out to the window showing all the swimming Pokemon, she kept her eye on it for awhile, then she would go and check on Neesan if necessary. Sooner or later, the girl will be nervous and anxious about something, and Kanna would need to go help her.

Becca turned around to see Rika. She smiled and made her way over. She heard her ask Ceylon to search for its aura. That was a good idea. However, could a Lucario find the aura if it was some where in the archipelago? The Islands seemed pretty spaced apart on the map. She skipped over to the two and decided to voice her opinion. "Hey." She whispered, glancing towards the Lucario. "Don't you think it would be a little far for Ceylon to sense?" Becca frowned and looked toward the window. "Won't we have to go to the different islands and do a scan there?"

The Espeon turned his gaze away from the many Pokemon that swam within the glass, to the Sylveon. Nuric brightened and leaped down from the bed, and bounded over. Nuric looked up, then pointed to the window, as if inviting the other Eevee evolution to watch the water types swim by. "Espeon?" He chimed hopefully. Already, he knew, that watching the different Pokemon go in and out of the tunnels heading to the ocean was going to be one of his favorite pass times.

"I suppose so. Even so, I'd rather check or not at all. You never know which way a Magikarp would wind up swimming," Kanna replied simply, though she knew her friend had made a really good point. However, this idea of getting a rare colored Magikarp for the headmaster was just really stupid. Probably too lazy to go find it himself and just assigned it to the students. "Oh Ceylon, could you remember to check if the Magikarp's aura is around from time to time?" she said before sighing. What was the point of doing this again? The principal probably didn't have any rare item, but in her mind, she had a faint hope that he did, and that she would win with all her intellectual skills. It was only convenient that Ceylon was a Lucario and had the ability to use aura. He had tried to teach her a few times for her own safety, and she only had a few basic skills down. Of course, she hasn't tried to practice them in awhile.

Velia was a bit content that Nuric had called her over and asked her to watch the Water Pokemon swim by. However, she was clueless as to what he was gesturing to her for. Any other Pokemon would notice, but she just couldn't. It was always something that happened to her. A little later, her blue eyes widened when she realized what he was telling her, despite her ability to be able to communicate to him normally, before shying away. After a few moments of hesitation, she followed, "Sylve~" Leaping gracefully onto the bed, nearly tripping off, the use of extending her ribbons to grab one of the bed's frame little poles had balanced her out. Letting out a sigh of relief, she watched each Pokemon swim by. This pass time would be really nice and she knew she would wind up doing this all the years.

By now, two other red beams shot out of Kanna's Pokeballs before materializing into Neku the Ampharos and Lillum the Meowstic. "Ampharos~ <3" the golden yellow Electric type said before posing a striking pose. Although it was impossible for him to charm the females in his trainer's group, the Water Pokemon in the aquarium that were soon realized to be female, had already gotten attracted, eyes flashing like hearts. As the usual comic relief, he was being quite the prankster, pleasing the female swimming Pokemon on the other side of the tank.

Lillum just looked away, not impressed or anything, which caused the Ampharos to pretend to pout in an attempt to get pity from the pretty Meowstic. In her case, it never worked, nor did it work for the Pokemon that actually knew him. Quickly getting agitated, she used Disarming Voice, letting out a sweet charming cry, leaving Neku with some emotional damage. Well, no one really comforted him afterwards, but it did wake up Aryuna.

The Togekiss wasn't angry by it, but just shook herself a bit before settling herself to sleep. However, by now, the room was in chaos. The explanation of it? They'll get there eventually.

Ceylon was busy listening to orders to even bother listening to the Meowstic and Ampharos arguing with each other. Like Velia, he was used to it by then, they did it often. However, the Lucario was well aware that the Ampharos, although likes attracting many females, had a strong feeling of love towards the Meowstic. Although they're usually a friendly term, Lillum doesn't usually regard his feelings, even if she is a Psychic type Pokemon.

Marina was the last in, waiting for the crowd to pass in fear of getting trampled. When she arrived with the Gorebyss around her neck, she did not know what to expect of her roommates. Nevertheless, when she opened the door, the girl smiled warmly.

"Hello!" she said to the faces she had seen among the crowd at the opening ceremony. This was a brief focus on her roommates, however, for the room immediately caught her glance. The size, and luxury, the aquarium!

Marina walked over to the window, breathless in the beauty that was in front of her eyes. Wailmers bounced about each other, playing a game of sorts. Corsola huddled in schools, making reefs. Octillery floated upwards against the current of the speedy Carvahna. Through the window, Marina could make out other windows from the walls of the aquarium. It looked like one big hub, where everyone could look into it together.

"Wooow...." Marina breathed, though she remembered the presence of her roommates and spun around, blushing with embarrassment. "Sorry, I'm Marina. Marina Copeland. You can probably tell by my accent that I am Kantoan."

No accents were too different, though some regions pronounced certain words and vowels differently. Marina gave an awkward yet genuine smile to the two, who seemed to already know each other. Great; she was the only stranger here. Well, besides Lucy.

Woooaaaaap! the Pokémon around her neck exclaimed, almost sounding right when she came into its trainer's mind.

Nuric was the first to notice the girl's appearance. Breaking away from the captivating window, the Espeon leaped up onto the head of the couch. His eyes watching the new comer closely. He thought of it as a test of his skills. This was the first time they were this far away from home.

And Nuric thought that watching his trainer was his job. And his job only. The Pokemon's intense gaze had a scrutinizing gaze to it. Should this trainer be allowed to communicate with Becca? Well, it would only depend on how she replied to his next move. "Espe!Espeooon."

Becca turned when she heard a new comer's voice, her mouth shaped in something like an 'o'. She knew there was another person joining them, but she didn't know when. Also forcing a polite smile, Becca replied enthusiastically. "Oh, nice to meet you!" The ginger waved in greeting, before continuing. "I am Becca Townes, and that," She paused gesturing in a wide motion towards the staring Espeon. "Is my first Pokemon, Nuric."
