Fifth entry

School!!! We are packing up to head to the school. It’s a boarding school which I didn’t know but makes sense being in Santalune City. We are going to try and catch my first Pokémon on the road to the city. I’m told there are Eevees along the way and I would love to have a Jolteon! But we shall see.

Fourth entry

Just got word I passed the test! It was more of a get to know you sit down. Well at least that’s what it felt like. The tests they give are practical not written, which is great for me because of my dyslexia as you know. They asked me about Pokémon typings and what is super affective against what. Some of the different types of Pokémon. What they might eat and their natures. I struggled with the natures one. And they asked what Pokémon are to me. I like my answer and feel that’s what helped make up for not knowing natures that well. I said Pokémon are companions, not just tools or battling weapons. They are there to help you and you to help them.

Third entry

I met another future student! She live here in Geosenge Town as well her name is Dee and she already has her first Pokémon! She has an Absol!!! I haven’t been able to get my first Pokémon yet. Always using Dads when ever I need to go anywhere. I keep the egg on me but that’s not very useful yet. Anyway Dee told me that all students can only have one Pokémon until the second month then they may capture a second. Only two are allowed though the rest of the term. Also the top three students in the final tournament get a starter. First place get first pick, second gets second, and third gets the remaining Pokémon. As long as you pass your classes you get to become a trainer the starters are just a bonus so I’m not worried about that just yet. Dee has been showing me around and she’s really interesting. She says she’s a little bit of a loner because of how people see Absol. There are stories about how they bring disasters. So she named her Nightmare. Which I like. Her family is there helping rebuild the town or were helping rebuild, looks pretty rebuilt to me. She’s the youngest of four and her siblings are all trainers and working on getting their badges. I like her and hope we both do well in school.

Second entry

So writing in you daily will be tough I think so I’ll write stuff down when I get time. It’s been a few days and I’m told I have to take a test to see if I can be let into the school. I thought I was already in but because I’m not from here they would like to know what I know so that’s gonna be fun. Heavy sarcasm..... till then I got to help my parents set up the house and get things set for when I leave. Helping dad with getting his study set and mom is helping me study. More to come later!

Hello journal!

Hi. Hello. I’m James. I am a Pokémon trainer. I’m here to keep my thoughts and experiences written down for who ever would like to read them. But really this is for you Granny and Gramps. So a little back ground for those who don’t know me. Like I said I am James. I am 14 almost 15 years old and a week ago my parents and I move to the Kalos region. My dad has been brought over to help study the hole that weapon thing left several years ago. My mom is a teacher of regular school. We just moved here from the Unova region. I’m going to be using a lot of I’s in this so sorry in advance. In a couple weeks I will be starting Pokémon school. Apparently after the whole team flare thing and the weapon some new rules came down. One is you must pass Pokémon school to become a trainer and enter the Pokémon league. The schooling only takes three months and it’s to cover the basics it seems. Things like the rules of battling, how to care for your Pokémon, how to camp when between towns. Plus battling other students to be given a “starting” Pokémon. There seems to be a random tournament with students at the end of each month. The first two months the pairings are random and the final month the students rank each other. There are only 16 students per class but seeing there are four classes each year plenty of people will become trainers. Oh and I have an egg given by my grandparents, thank you again by the way granny and gramps, that was my gift for moving. Now the Pokémon is a surprise so I don’t know what it is yet but I can dream. Well more to come just wanted to get a little bit down and get in the writing mood.

Off we go

It’s been a little over a week since we arrived in Lumiose City. I was prepared to take a few days to get there by biking but Olivers parents gave us plane tickets. It was nice and easy. Right before we left I was giving my goodbyes and Major changed his mind and joined us! My parents gave me a gift as well. A fire stone! To let Smoke evolve. It was hard to go because I’m going to be gone longer than when I was at school. Anyway we got yo the city and went to Professor Sycamore’s lab. There were a bunch of people there getting their starter Pokémon and pokedex. I asked around about what happened with Team Flare and that Pokémon attack they did and found that they pretty much went under ground or left the team. They have been replaced with Team Blast, that team that pretty much was the cause of me being expelled. They are trying to stop people from stopping the vine things and they are stealing things and Pokémon to help their cause. After talking with people for a bit it was our time to go get our things. Oliver was real bratty about it, he pushed the other kid out of the way to pick first. He went with Froakie. Another kid picked Fennekin and Chespin. I just took the pokedex and Professor Sycamore was ok with that. Let’s another trainer possibly get their first choice. We headed out and went on our way to route 7 and Pokémon daycare. On the way Oliver battled several Pokémon and caught some. After looking over what he caught he decided to keep a Skiddo. He says he can’t wait for it to evolve so he can ride it. He can ride the skiddo but says it’s to small for him right now. We moved on and arrived at the daycare where we were able to stay for the night. We did some training after we got there but we were to tired to do much. The next day right before Oliver woke up Smoke, Major, and I went to fine some Pokémon to battle. We encountered a few but there was one Pokémon that was persistent. A ducklett. I thought that it was adventurous enough and I caught it! I named her Grace. After Oliver got up we talked about where to go first. He wanted to go the coast and find a fossil in the caves. I suggested we go to the mansion first and see the place. He agreed and we headed out. We encountered a few trainers and Oliver pretty much took every challenge. I did get to battle a few people and it was fun! Oliver was to aggressive on how much to battle for. He brought a lot of money and most people don’t even have a quarter of that. He was annoyed and kept complaining, it really got on my nerves. We made it there and I feel he won’t let this go but he had to help me with the cover charge. I would have gone broke paying for it. We looked around and it was so amazing! We stayed for a bit then left and found more trainers to battle. One was a double battle! I went with Major and Oliver sent out his Froakie, which he named Shadow. Like ninjas use the shadows. They knocked out Shadow but Major held strong and beat the two furfrou’s. We made it back to the daycare where Oliver kept up his complaining. He then remembered what he took from his parents and he used it. He stole a Thunder Stone from them and he evolved his Eevee. Now he has a Jolteon which is named Sparky. I wasn’t and I’m still not proud of him stealing but there’s nothing we can do now. We moved on and passed the Battle Mansion, a place we are going to come back to but there are new rules requiring at least one gym badge. I hope to come back and work my way up the ranking. After a few more battles and encounters we move through the Connecting cave. So many Zubats! And Whismurs are loud. We made it through after a few battles. On to route 8 we saw several Zangoose attacking a Seviper. I jump in and help it out where I take the Seviper to get healed. We rushed to Ambrette Town and get it healed. I was hoping it would like to become one of my Pokémon but it just slithered away. We are in the hotel here and tomorrow we will be checking out the Glittering Cave. I can’t wait! Till next time Journal.

Pokeprofessor-blue’s United States Pokemon League Rules

1. Each state has two cities in which there is a gym. Each year the city in which the official gym is based will alternate. Generally, the two cities will be the most populous city, and then the capital of each city. Ex: In California, one year, the official gym in which you can get your badge for the Pokemon league will be Sacramento, and then the following year, it will change to Los Angeles.

2. In each city, the type of the gym will be the same, but the Gym Leader, and the Pokemon in his/her party will be different. 

3. For a state to change types for its gym leader, one of the Gym leaders must resign or be excused from service. In this case, there will be auditions for a new Gym Leader in both cities, where the winner of the tryouts will be able to choose the type of the gym, and then there will be a second tryout for the second gym leader. This second audition is open to any trainers able to use 6 Pokemon of the type the First gym Leader has chosen.

4. Trainers may not obtain badges from the same Regional league 3 years in a row, as this will most likely have them battling the same Gym Leader twice, giving them an advantage. 

5. Trainers may obtain badges from other Regional leagues as long as it is not of the same type Gym Badge as one the trainer has received from their original Regional League

6. No two gyms in the same region are able to specialize in the same type.

7. At the end of the year, there will be a regional tournament for all the trainers who have obtained 8/10 badges from their regional gyms.

8. All trainers who obtain 10/10 gym badges will be able to skip the first round of the tournament, and be put into a higher seed.

9. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place, anyone who makes it to the semi-finals, are eligible for the United States Championship tournament.

10. The United States Championship is held in four cities. The city changes between these four each year. The four cities are Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and Houston.
