Olivine City
The Port Closest to Foreign Lands.
This city has it all: Pokemon Center, PokeMart, Gym, the Glitter Lighthouse, warm, sandy beaches, cafe, heck, if you had time, you could probably even go to the Moo Moo Farm on Route 39 and go milk Miltank or the Battle Tower located on Route 40. However, a newly constructed building has been attracting attention from the media lately: The Pokemon Academy of Olivine City, was originally a wealthy private school, shortened to PA by most of the staff and students. The Board of Directors decided to change their ways and has been offering scholarships out to qualified Trainers around the world, from Kanto to Sinnoh, even the Pokemon barren Orre.
Pokemon Academy itself is a masterpiece created by the best of architects. Wrought iron gates and fences surround the campus. Lush gardens, elegant courtyards, and expensive looking statues and fountains are erected all around the school. The biggest building is a building your core, academic classes, but there are several other buildings behind it, which include the dorms, a domed building for art and music electives, large fields, and stadiums for sports and battling; all state-of-art facilities.
You have been accepted into this amazing school, be it from a scholarships or from familial ties, and you have received this letter in the mail along with your winter and summer uniforms (blue and white with a ribbon and cap if you're a guy, red and white with a tie and beret if you're a girl), a plastic ID card, and a PokeDex.
Dear Sir/Miss,
Congratulations! On behalf of the Admissions Committee, it is my pleasure to inform you that you have been admitted to Olivine's Pokemon Academy. To reserve your place in the class, please be sure to return the form before the due date, with your payment. While we hope to hear from you by the date on your form, applicants will be granted an extension, upon written request for as long as you need to up to December 1st. Any condition(s) that may have been placed on your acceptance are enclosed. Please read these carefully. Unless otherwise indicated, all conditions must be met for registration, or you may not be permitted to register. However, there are some things you need to know about first.
YOUR ID CARD
This flimsy piece of plastic is crucial, the most important part of your stay here in Pokemon Academy. This is the key to your dorm room, your ticket to lunch (if you signed up for a meal plan), and a point tracker for points that can be used in the school store. Please be cautious and do not lose it. You may be reissued a new card, however that will come with a penalty of 10 points.
DORMS
There are 3 floors per dorm and 2 people to a room. There is a PC and TV for personal usage in each room, but you are free to bring other electronics with you from home, such as laptop computers and video game consoles, but please keep this within reason. There is a common room and kitchen on each floor.
SCHOOL STORE
The school store is a student-run facility where students may purchase rare items and PokeBalls for their Pokemon. You may use your points here, however, your points may be taken away through misconduct.
I would like to take this opportunity to offer you my personal congratulations on your acceptance to Pokemon Academy. You may bring one Pokemon with you. A schedule, student handbook, and map of campus are enclosed with this letter. Your room assignments will be posted on the bulletin board outside your dorm. I wish you success in your pursuit for higher education. It will be a pleasure seeing you on April 1st.
Sincerely,
Mai Kinjo

Principal
You sift through the documents to find the form the principal mentioned and stop for a moment. What were you going to specialize in anyway? You have the choice between Trainer, Coordinator, and Breeder, and you take some time to make your decision. Finally, you scribble something down and leave it at that.
BEFORE YOU JOIN:
>You may not make use of anyone else's character without permission. The character's creator must state in their post that you have their permission.
>There is no minimum word count, but please make it a reasonable length.
>This is NOT a mature RPG. I don't mind romances between your characters, but keep any and all swearing and explicit scenes out of this.
>You can obviously play more than one character, but please use a different color when posting as your other character(s).
>If you want to RP as part of the staff or include another subject, PM me first or contact me over AIM, MSN, YIM, or Skype. Although it may look like I'm offline on the instant messengers, IM me anyway, chances are that I am online and on invisible.
>Staff Positions: Please know something about the subject you're teaching if you're a teacher. You can double up on staff positions for the moment.
>You may reserve a staff position over PM/IM.
>Dorms and room assignments not be up until the RPG starts and will be randomized. DON'T ask me to stick you with so-and-so, this will result in the rejection of your sign-up form.
>You absolutely, positively, MAY NOT HAVE LEGENDARIES OF ANY KIND.
