Thread: Trebloome Academy: Part III

"Thank you," Luna blushed in embarassment, "I'm from the Sinnoh Region. It too is also my first time out of my home region. I can only hope that I will be able to enjoy this experience." Frost merely nodded in agreement before closing his eyes and enjoying the frigid air.

Lane was a bit surprised he knew she was thinking about that, although perhaps it what made them quite a good couple. "No, it was just a thought trembling through my head" Lane assured him, she knew it was Jessica. Or Stacy, Lane had forgotten which one had actually been revealed to be the real Black Princess, she wondered if either of them would be coming back. "Do you think either Jessica or Stacy will be here this year?" Lane questioned before realizing she was standing alone talking to herself as Jason went to talk to another guy.

"Guess I will find out" Lane said to herself, she knew the other four teachers were going to be there, and Zoey had a little surprise she hadn't told anyone outside of the family and Lane. Forgetting her thoughts for a moment Lane followed Jason over to the guy who did look like he was having sea sickness. "Hi I am Lane, don't worry we are almost there" Lane chimed in introducing herself.

Hearing Alexis' voice brought a smile to James' face. He spun around, a quip prepared to answer her joke. "You know, I don't think you're looking for the right person." He said with a shimmering smile. "After all, the James Dalton I know isn't the type to settle down with one girl." James laughed before taking Alexis into his arms. "But then again, I think you're cute enough... you'll do." He said before swinging her up into the air and kissing her passionately.

Itazura, after checking to make sure Dusza wasn't looking, turned invisible and began slowly making his way towards James and Alexis. Having a group this big right in front of him was too good of an opportunity to pass up, and these two in particular looked like they were preoccupied. Although it wasn't visible, he had a grin plastered all over his face as a faint crackling sound came from his arms. He was now close to James' shoulder, arm outstretched to give James a shock similar to what he did to Chandra. Not a large enough shock to cause any lasting damage, but definitely enough to startle him out of his wits.

Alexis smiled as she kissed him and her legs bent upwards with joy. She wished times like these she hadn’t worn flats, especially due to the fact he was taller than her, 7 inches to be precise.

“I’m glad you still remember me” she teased as she looked at him still in his embrace. “I missed you” she whispered gently before seeing an arm emerge near James’ shoulder.

“JAMES” she screamed as she pushed herself out of his embrace and fell on the deck floor.

Itazura's arm snapped away from James, and in his initial shock, he returned to visible form. Dusza, having heard the clamor, ran over, only to find a frightened Alexis on the ground, and Itazura with a sheepish grin. He sighed and shook his head. "Itazura, please, could you keep a lid on it until after we arrive at the academy? We don't want to get on people's bad sides this early on."

The Rotom gave a glum nod, facial expression downcast, returning to his trainer's side. Chandra had just then floated over, still looking bored. "What trouble did our little ball of mischief get us into this time?" he said to Dusza in an exasperated manner.

Dusza looked over to Alexis, then to James. "I'm sorry about Itazura. He has a habit of playing practical jokes on others. Are you two alright?" he asked in his soft voice.

"Thankfully we are almost there," Jason chuckled as he turned to Lane. "I actually noticed I haven't gotten seasick on this trip."

"The sound of waves is so pleasant, isn't it?" Calvin's sister Camille asked, leaning of the rail next to him.

"It was until you opened your mouth." Calvin replied, suddenly finding himself bent over the railing.

"Since you seem to like it so much, how would you like to enjoy it from closer in?" Camille asked. She suddenly found herself hanging backwards over the railing.

"Ask yourself that question before you ever threaten me again." Calvin said with enough malice to ensure she knew he meant business, releasing her and walking off to another section of the ship. He walked past several people he didn't remember or recognize in any way, and one girl who seemed familiar, but the name wouldn't come to him. He decided not to give himself an ulcer over it, and kept walking beginning to unknowingly grind his teeth.

Joe leaned back on the railings, feeling the waves crash against the side of the boat and the sea spray mingling with his hair and making it look wild. Calvin stomped by, grinding his teeth.

“Hey, Calvin!” Joe called. He shot Calvin a wicked grin, a dark gleam in his eyes. His tongue played with one of his sharp canine teeth as he toyed with the ideas in his head.

Calvin turned slowly, looking in the direction of the voice that requested his attention. "Yes?" He said coolly, toying with a Poké Ball in his hand.

Joe slouched away from the railings and walked steadily towards Calvin, the same dark look in his eyes. “I think we may be able to help each other.” He said, flashing another wicked smile. “Common interests, and all that. I thought an… alliance, of sorts, would be in order.” He reach Calvin, but walked right past him, towards the door to his cabin. “Care for a chat?” he asked, not looking back, his hand on the doorknob.

"This better be good." Calvin replied after a moment of thought, following. After a few minutes, he exited Joe's room, smiling the same malice-filled smile. "Sounds like a plan." He said. "I like the way you think."

“I thought you would.” Joe said, smirking to himself as he followed Calvin out and pushed the door shut with his foot behind him. “Just keep it natural-looking and it should work. Win, win. For us, anyway.” he added. He wavered for a moment, his hand half-raised as if he were about to offer a handshake, but he shook his head and let it drop. “We’ll speak later.” he promised, the dark look returning to his eyes, and he turned and walked off, back towards Josh and Kyle.

Elizabeth placed her head on the rail of the boat, waiting for this to end. She heard a voice earlier, but wasn't sure who it was. Probally wasn't meant for me...
She heard other people talk about the trip and how much time is left.
"Thank goodness it's almost over!" She said to Jiggly.

Calvin smiled to himself, and walked in the opposite direction, sitting with his back against the railing. He opened the Poké Ball in his hand, and his Pikachu appeared. "If anyone approaches, blast them." He said, crossing his legs and meditating while giving off the appearance that he was taking a nap. Pikachu sat next to him, watching carefully.
