Pokemon Triathalon: Beginning Draft.
((Here’s the beginning of my upcoming mini comic! Including the small introductions for all of the Pokemon Trainer AU characters. thedevilishromulan senatorvreenak senatorletant Please tell me what you think, if you want to add anything, or if you have any lines you want your character to say!! =D))
Tal’kaela: *sitting in class, as the professor is going over the basics that will be tested in the Pokemon Triathalon*
Tal’kaela: *thinking* This is it… this is what we’ll be graded on. Professor Koval says that our places in the race don’t count toward our grade, rather how well we utilize the strengths of the pokemon we’re given. But of course everyone will be going for first place. The winner gets 6 free credit hours and a ticket for $100 worth of food from the cafeteria! I’d better analyze my competition…
Tal’kaela: Being that Pokemon Versatility 202 is one of the requirements for a specialty trainer degree, I’ve met quite several other specialty trainers in this class. One of whom specializes in bird pokemon like myself. He goes by his last name, Vreenak. I think he’s aiming to get the last qualifications he’ll need to be a flying type gym leader, but he won’t give me a straight answer on that. We’ve ended up becoming not-quite-friends I think… ((This is AU verse, Vree!Mun! In the normal verse, Tal’kaela definitely considers Vree to be a close friend of hers! ^^)) maybe because we both specialize in bird pokemon, I’m not sure. He’s the one who orchestrated that start of our acquaintanceship. He’s a lot older and smarter than me, and is at the top of our class. I really admire him a lot.
Vreenak: *catches Tal’kaela’s eye and smiles*
Tal’kaela: His smile terrifies me.
Letant: *leans over and whispers something to Vreenak*
Tal’kaela: Oh, and that’s Vreenak’s best friend, I think. Some say they’re secretly dating, others say they’re actually political rivals (how that’s relevant, I don’t know.) But after talking to them both, I’m sure they’re just close friends. Letant seems to like me well enough, but he doesn’t like my pokemon. He doesn’t specialize in anything, and I’m not sure what kind of degree he’s going for. I keep meaning to ask him, but every time I start to, I get distracted talking about something else. Sometimes I wonder if he does it on purpose…
Tal’kaela: *catches Suran’s eyes and averts them quickly* Suran. He was my teacher in high school. He’s a good teacher! Very strict, focused, and grades really really harshly! I was shocked to see him here, but I didn’t dare ask him why. To be honest, I’m almost afraid to beat him in the competition…
Tal’kaela: And then there’s Verelan…. She and I have been rivals from the beginning. At the beginning of the class, Koval gave us each a random pokemon and pitted us against another student in a battle. Verelan was given a Charizard and I was given a stupid Marrowack. She beat me, of course. We had to congratulate each other at the end of the battle and I could swear she was gloating with the look in her eye! We’ve been rivals ever since, but we’er both pretending to be friends to try to learn more about the other. Just pretending. It’s not like I actually like her or want to be her friend or anything! Rediculous!
Verelan: *raises her hand to ask a question*
Tal’kaela: I also suspect that the professor doesn’t like her...
Tal’kaela: I think they’ll be my most notable competition, but there may be others that surprise me. Like that grass-type trainer who’s doing better in this class than many of the other specialty trainers. I should be ready for anything…
