Alex jolted awake. Rubbing his eyes, he looked around to see the rest of the ferry devoid of trainers. [i]Seriously, no one thought to wake me up?[/i] he thought, with a disbelieving grin. He stretched his neck a bit then stood and picked up his backpack. He stepped off the ferry, drawing an amused look from the ferryman. Alex just gave him a nod and joked, "I'm looking to make an entrance."

He walked towards what appeared to be the main building. It sort of reminded him of a big Pokemon Center, complete with the Pokeball doorknobs. He wasn't surprised to find the hall had already cleared out. [i] How late was I asleep? Or how short was that orientation?[/i]. A glance at the piece of paper in his pocket confirmed that orientation had been at 7:50. According to his watch it was 8:10 already. Another look at his sheet told him he was supposed to be in Mr. Adams room ten minutes ago. No matter, he figured orientation had just been a bunch of rules already laid out in the packet he'd gotten with his letter. First few minutes of class were probably the same. He just hoped this Adams wasn't going to make to big a deal out of this.

He made his way down the hallways looking for 108. The classrooms he walked past were full of noise, learning and Pokemon were a very loud combination. He found 108 with no issue and walked in. It seemed it wasn't as late as he thought as everyone still seemed to be settling in. There was a somewhat flustered looking man standing at the front of the room, a Gardevoir next to him. [I]I guess that's Adams[/I]. At that exact moment the Mr. Adams himself turned to look at him. [I]That was weird[/I] he thought, then his eyes drifted towards the Gardevoir again. Had the psychic Pokemon alerted Mr. Adams to his arrival? He raised his hand in a quick greeting. "Sorry I'm late, I missed the ferry and my Poliwag had to pull me all the way up the river. He actually beat the ferry, but I really needed a shower after that" he said as he claimed an empty seat at the front of the class. He noticed his name listed with those of four other students, apparently those would be the people he would be living with.
