"Alright Class. I've got your first group project..."
Professor Raiya then paused for dramatic effect and informed us of the group project
"You guys will be forming teams of 5, doing mixed 4v4 doubles."
The Professor then writes down the basics of how it will go.
"All 5 trainers of the group must register 2 Pokèmon that they'll use. 4 of you are to fight at a time, while the last one is a substitute. Its kind of like 4v4 doubles. Use the remaining time to form teams and discuspps, class dismissed."
Raiya then leaves the lecture hall, my classmates quickly formed groups.
"Shoto~~, Lets team up~~"
Julia whispers in my ears while she poked my elbow for attention
"And oh yeah... I'd like to invite 2 of my friends into the group.."
Julia drags 2 more students to me and introduces them.
"Ah. Maigo and Reina?"
I said as I went up to them and offered a handshake to both
"I haven't formally introduced myself... I'm Shoto Chevalier, Nice to meet the both of you."
Both girls looked at me, with respect and both accepted my handshake.
The one with beige colored long hair hair, she wore ragged baggy clothes and had an air of confidence around her, she then took my handshake and introduced herself.
"Nice to meet you Shoto, I'm Maigo Helmuth."
Then next up is the one with silver hair. She had a hime style haircut with an outfit reminiscent of 1960's fashion, she had a aura of ' don't mess with me' to her..
"I'm Reina Garnichts. The pleasure is mine..."
I nod to both of them and I turn back to Julia after she asked a question.
"So, who's going to be our fifth person? got any idead Shoto?"
Reina and Maigo just stared at her blankly before shaking their head.
"Well I have someone in mind..."
I try to find said person and spot the red haired man just behind me.
I went up to him and talked to him.
"Sup Second Uncle In-law~"
The red haired man sighed and stood up
"Stop calling me that Shoto.... It's getting annoying."
He then goes down to my table and sat down next to my and Julia's table.
"That's Roté Dangeroux. He's my aunt's brother in law. So that technically makes him my Second Uncle in law right?"
Well I know its not an actual term, but I find it funny.
"Shut up Shoto!"
Roté snapped at me while I went down back to my table and start planning with the four of them..
"sooo.... we need to know what we're working with right now, I'll need you guys current roster... I'll Start."
I then take out my notebook and wrote down my roster and explained to them anything notable,
"My Starter was Thwakey, it's level 18 as of now. And has its hidden ability Grassy Surge-"
I then explained my other Pokémon (I skipped Shoto's explaintion lol)
"And that's all my Pokémon... Who's next?"
Julia then vollunteers and writes down her current team
"For one, My Starter is Torracat, Who's currently Level 17, it has its Hidden ability Intimidate."
"My Legacy is Mawile, Also level 17. I have a Mawilite so I can Mega evolve it.."
The other three looked amazed, using Mega Evolution is a lot more taxing compared to the other battle gimmicks, so being able to do one was amazing.
"My last Pokémon is Poliwag. It's my most recent capture. It it also level 17."
Julia then completes her team report and gives the pen to Maigo next.
"My team is currently... not so well developed, but.."
She starts her report.
"So... my Starter is Charmeleon it is level 16. It also has its Hidden Ability, Solar Power"
She then continues with her next Pokémon
"And my Legacy Pokémon, also my last.. is Marill. It has Huge Power as its ability. And oh... its level 16 as well."
We all nodded after her explaination. And next was Reina's turn.
And she got to the point imediately
"My starter is Marshtomp, its level 16, it has Torrent."
"Umbreon is my Legacy Pokémon, like Marshtomp its level 16"
"My third Pokémon is Duraludon its level 16, I plan to evolve it in a few days. And it has light metal as its ability."
She then pauses and continues her report.
"And my most recent addition is Wingull, it has rain dish, and its only level 14 right now."
After Reina's explaination. I turn to Roté to urge him.
"Okay now Roté, your turn!"
Roté clicked his tounge but still listened. He started on his team report.
"For my starter... It's Brionne, currently level 17 and has its Hidden Ability Liquid Voice."
"My Legacy Pokémon is Darmanitan-Galar, Also level 17. And its Ability is Gorilla Tactics."
"My third is Snover, Its Level 15 and has the Snow Warning ability."
"And my most recent capture... Actually I just got it yesterday, Arctozolt. Level 5 and has the Slush Rush ability."
We then gasp at the last Pokémon. And Arctozolt huh? with the Snow its quite a terrifying Pokémon with Bolt Beak, having double damage if the attack moves first.
While Arctozolt has pitifully low base speed, with Slush Rush its speed is doubled in Snow.
Raiya is one such Trainer specializing in Snow, but he has Ninetales as his setter, unlike Roté who has Snover as his.
"Well.... thank you all for your inputs... Is it okay if we do our practice at my place? Its also here at the capital so it's very closeby."
The four of them nodded in agreement, and i continued the discussion.
"I already have a Plan in place on how we'll be able to have some synergy. This isn't my first mixed 4v4... so I have some expirience with it."
When I was in middle school, I often practiced with Raiya when he was at our estate. I used his Pokémon for the practice though.
"I still need to brainstorm ideas once I get back.. so I'll go back to you all in uhh... tommorow i guess."
"So okay.. Discussion complete. I'll see you all tommorow after classes."
I leave the lecture hall with Julia and head to our respective dorm rooms for the night.
After I ploppped down my bed after not being in it for 2 days.. I closed my eyes for a moment.
Then my Phone ringed with a message.
I sat back up and looked at the notification.
It was from Julia...
"Thanks for yesterday... I appreciated your company.. and sorry again, I know you didn't mind but sttill... sorry."
I message her back, in a short response as usual
"Apology accepted. And if you need me again... I'm always here, thats what friends are for after all."
She then sends me a thumbs up, and I ended the chatting there..
"Friends huh..."
Julia layed on her bed.. looking at that word contemplatingly
"I'm such a moron..."
She decided to then try and sleep, though she couldn't really as she was too preocupied...
