[color=deepskyblue]“T-t-tournament?!”[/color] Tim shuddered. He knew this school specialized in Pokémon battles, he knew he would have to participate in one at some point. Still, he wasn’t prepared to be in a tournament this soon. He just got here. The most experience Rocky had battling other Pokémon was tackling the random Rattatas that lived in the tall grass. The others would definitely laugh at him when he lost. Well... they already did that earlier, it couldn’t possibly get any worse right? Even now, other students were whispering about him talking to Evey...

He sighed as he walked into the classroom and sat at a desk. The Professor introduced herself, and her Pokémon, a Tropius and a Bronzong. Tim’s eyes lit up excitedly. Neither of those species were native to Johto, so this was his first time seeing them in person. He was excited to see any species of Pokémon. Pokémon were allowed in the classroom, and their were toys available for them to play with. Rocky ran to chew on a bone shaped chew toy that was lying around.

Professor Caprea decided to do an ice breaker, and instructed everyone to come up with two truths and a lie about himself. Tim really had to think hard about this one. He was never very good at lying. Was he supposed to brag about himself? As far as he was concerned, he didn’t have much to talk about that others would find interesting...

And then he was called up first. Tim swallowed loudly and cringed. He was up first?! He had to speak in front of everyone first?! Tim shuddered, and walked up to the front of the class. Why did he have to be first? As much as he wanted to, he couldn’t say no. This was a school assignment. He didn’t have a choice in the matter.

[color=deepskyblue]”Um... uh... I-I-I’m Tim...”[/color] Tim began to say. All eyes were looking at him, and he hated it. His heart was racing, and he was breathing heavily. [color=deepskyblue]”Let’s see uh...”[/color] He stared down at his index card the whole time. Not having to see the others made it a little better. [color=deepskyblue]”Um... I’ve met the Gym Leader Jasmine... Um... Uh...”[/color] He shuffled his feet nervously. [color=deepskyblue]”Um... M-m-my Rockruff won a ribbon in a Pokémon Beauty Contest... And uh... My mother is a Pokémon doctor, and I help care for sick and injured Pokémon at her office.”[/color] There it was done.

Someone immediately guessed the lie, and Tim nodded. Then he ran back to his seat in a flash. Glad it was finally over. Rocky never won a beauty contest, though he did enter one once. For Tim, it was a stressful experience for sure. About as stressful as having to speak in front of the class.
