If your OC’s had a Pokémon crossover, I definitely see Flint’s crush on Laguna. I mean, rock types are weak to water!!! *Slaps knee* Anyway! What’s the setting? Do they all go to the same magic school?
I’ve been sitting on this ask for a few days OOPS because you said Pokemon AU in the same breath as my OCs and guess what happened
shout out to khfan t on deviantart for this template, i just wanted to have a little fun coming up with the kinds of pokemon teams my OCs would have :D Flint’s got some rocky bois with one special ghost teapot, Laguna’s killing it with the water team (of course). Ayahs got a CAT problem with some special other cuddly friends which plays into her summoning spells a little bit. And of course Lucios got the emo kids and is the only one lucky enough to get a mythic (legendary?) on his team cause it was shadow themed and less crazy looking than other shadow themed legendaries.
To answer the actual question!! lol the setting is an idea of a kind of Magic Trade School, which is a sort of parody twist on magical wizard school, its a magical certification program lol. Its a post highschool trade school you can choose to enroll in instead of your junior and senior year of basic education, or go straight into after highschool if you prefer. You have to do a lot of community college style courses along side practical internships on and off campus with boarding housing (and off site apartments you can apply for). Most students in their first year are in some basic dorms but move around the area to apartments depending on their familiars and their familiars specific needs (or proximity to off site internships). A very common partnership for promising certification applicants is that they get scoped by businesses in their field of study (enchantment, summoning, potion making, curse breaking, gate creation) and offered grants towards their education if they sign a contract promising to take their internship or job after they complete the program.
its a biiig campus, for whatever reason in my brain it looks a lot like the school from that videogame Bully
Bullworth academy, except less violent and crappy lmao. With lots of large buildings for different certification programs.
