you just moved to a town called Willowgrove, Built around a massive ancient willow tree, the village was quiet compared to bustling cities, but it had a warm reputation. Wooden homes nestled among roots and hills, rope bridges connected taller branches, and the local school overlooked a meadow where younger Pokémon often played after class.

Your family's move had only happened three days ago.

Today was your first day at Willowgrove School.

The classroom itself was surprisingly cozy. Desks were arranged in a semicircle rather than neat rows, allowing Pokémon of all shapes and sizes to fit comfortably. Windows let in cool morning air, carrying the scent of flowers from outside.

A sturdy-looking Komala teacher lazily opened one eye while sitting atop his desk.

"Alright... settle down, everyone..."

The chatter slowly died.

Around the room sat a variety of students.

A curious Shinx constantly flicked his tail, looking like he'd had far too much energy since sunrise. A shy Budew quietly organized colored leaves into neat little piles. A confident Riolu leaned back in his chair with crossed arms, watching everyone who entered. A cheerful Rockruff whispered jokes to the neighboring Buneary, who kept trying—and failing—not to laugh. Near the window sat a quiet Vulpix, calmly reading a book without paying much attention to the room.

The teacher yawned.

"We've got a new student today..."

Every head turned toward the classroom door.

"Come on in whenever you're ready... and tell the class a little about yourself."

Twenty pairs of eyes waited expectantly. Some looked excited, some curious, and one or two simply wondered if the new kid might be interesting.

The room fell silent.
