[center][h1] The first day! Student mayhem! [/h1][/center]
[hr]
The crowd wasn’t the largest, and it was easy to attract attention when you were a group of five transfer students that were just a little rowdier than the others. The transfer students may not have noticed it, but one by one people had been turning their eyes towards them, whispering, pointing, laughing. With Zaria’s more than apparent stumbles, the gusting Combee, the barking Rockruff, the boisterous Munchlax, Valerie’s clothes, and Troy’s blank expression, they were looking quite notorious.

To the other students, the transfer students seemed [i]weird[/i]. Their pokemon seemed untrained and rude, not to mention the whole lot of them just appeared sort of unimpressive in general. The crowd was aflutter with whispered jeers and muffled laughter. Who were these newbies? They were lame!

“[b]What a bunch of weirdos,[/b]” someone scoffed. 

“[b]Aren’t they the transfer students? They’re not really one of us[/b]…” 

“[b]They’re idiots, just causing a ruckus![/b]”

[b]“They’re pretty entertaining. What a bunch of losers!”[/b]

The transfer students were making names for themselves, that was for certain. Things were still settling down, they just had to get through the next few minutes… Would they keep their heads down and try to assuage the situation? Or would they bark back? And would their bark prove to be less— or more— than their bite?
