Pokemon: Professor's Academy

Jason Yew

Jason did his best to answer each question in turn. He turned to Jenny, "Good enough to start off. We're going to be spending the first few weeks indoors actually." The usual collective groan went up from the students. "Basic biomes will be covering the standard areas in which Pokemon may be encountered. Think tall grass, water routes, mountains, etc. We'll be getting into sub-categories at a later date. This course, while entry level, is supposed to help you learn basic ecology and understand how different environments shape the Pokemon living there. Not the most exciting, but it's 'foundational' to your future studies."

Next up was a kid who couldn't have been more than a first year. At least he looked as tired as Jason felt. "Ethan, There really isn't so much an "advanced" biome as there are sub-categories within the main groups. As far as traveling, unless you have a scheduled research trip, Professor Birch will typically have a class trip to Hoenn sometime by week three." When Ethan asked his last question, Jason hid a smirk, "Yeah. If you can get any thesis work out of this class, you're better than about half of the student body here." It was no secret the Ecology class was a little redundant.

Lastly, was Callum. "Right. I think we had a class together last year? Class trips, when they happen, are treated the same as your actual classes." Jason pointed to Toxin who was currently curled up by his bag on the TA desk. The white Salandit stretched as flames sparked out of his mouth. "So long as they aren't a distraction, they're your partner. Be a shame to leave them behind."

With that, he scanned the rest of the room. The rest of the students were either bored or had their heads shoved in their laptops like one girl who hd been messing with a ditto. Jason didn't bother being to strict. It was only day one after all. Seeing there no other questions, he quickly hooked up his laptop to a projector and pulled up Birch's slideshow for the day.

Quick bump to say we have room for one more player before I close the RP.

Jason Yew

Jason stifled a groan as the morning sunlight hit him in the face. Being a natural night owl for the last several years had ensured he always had a hard time getting up in the morning. He was about to turn over on his couch and go back to sleep when the alarm on his Rotom phone suddenly blared to life! Immediately, Jason bolted up and swatted at the floating device. It flew across the room; only stopping inches from the fr wall. Now awake, Jason yawned and stretched. He pressed a hand against his lower back as a dull ache began to spread.

"Ugh... Fell asleep reading again," he muttered as his eyes fell to the discarded textbook on his apartment floor. Hearing a skittering sound underneath his couch, he quickly snatched the book before Toxin's claw could grab it. The Salandit hissed in a mocking manner before returning to the perch Jason had installed in the corner of the room.

"Books aren't for you, buddy." Jason pushed himself to his feet and began the slow process of his morning routine. First, coffee. Once he cleaned out last night's stale brew, he began warming another pot. While it boiled, he went into the bedroom and dug around until he found a set of clothes that didn't look completely disheveled. Cramming for the last week of Summer vacation had left his laundry situation pretty abysmal. At the very least, he had a - mostly - clean lab coat to start the new semester.

Once he got dressed and put some food in his system, Jason went about shoving notebooks and reference guides into a satchel while Toxin watched with interest. When he finally got to his pokeballs, he paused. Jester was too much of a liability for day one... The would-be professor shuddered remembering the day his Haunter had broken into the faculty lounge for a "prank" last year. Headmaster Rowan said the refrigerator hadn't worked right since.

"Doku and Luna will be good today. Tox, you're welcome to ride as usual." Jason offered a shoulder and the white Salandit happily jumped on. Satisfied, Jason slung on his bag and stepped out into the Jubilife City sunshine. The student apartments were a relatively short walk from the Laventon Institute Campus. On the way, Jason mindlessly scrolled through his Rotom Phone as he checked the schedule for the semester. A sigh escaped his lips upon seeing his first class in the morning would be TA-ing in Pokemon Ecology 101. Not that it was a BAD class, but it would be a lot of repetitive information. He made a mental note to keep his tongue in check.

The campus was just coming to life as Jason approached. Morning classes were typically reserved for first years meaning second and third year students awake at this hour would be working their theses. Jason envied getting that extra time, but he needed the credits from the TA position. He navigated his way to the Ecology Lab on the third floor; getting there before most students arrived.

With about twenty minutes until class began, Jason pulled out his laptop to run through Professor Birch's syllabus. It was virtually identical to his first year. Not surprising for the professor who had to spend half his time doing fieldwork in the Hoenn Region. Once the class was filled, Jason got up to address his peers.

"Good morning, students. If you don't know me, I'm Jason Yew and I'll be your TA for this semester. Unfortunately, Professor Birch won't be joining us for the first few classes as he's been called away last minute to do research on the Desert Underpass in Hoenn." Jason forwarded the syllabus to the class. "You'll find the first round of assignments online and we'll begin by exploring basic habitats and biomes. Any questions?"

@SpookySquid@Agunimon double approved.

First post will be live tonight. Sorry about the wait, but I had job stuff going on.

Pokemon: Professor's Academy

Ok. now that that’s taken care of… I’m gonna get us started properly later today. If people still want to join, just apply with your CS and wait for approval or suggestions. To anyone still waiting, you’ve got my critiques.

Multiple Post Deletion Request

Hello. I’ve got a guy in my new RP who’s claiming to be me and posting some really gross sexual crap in the IC forum. Any chance I can get all of those deleted please? I’ve included the link below.

@LegendBegins I’ve got a guy claiming he’s me and posting some gross shit on here. Can I get a delete please?

@Professor Birch Bro… you aren’t me. What the actual? I’m calling the admins.

Pokemon: Professor's Academy

@Xyzzt Ok wow… First things first, I appreciate the effort you’re putting in, but this is a LOT. It’s supposed to be a simple slice of life type story. Not a quest of characters seeking enlightenment. I don’t know if you can/want to, but but simplifying this character would go a long way. Use @Azure Bubbles as a guide or myself. Azure RPs with me a lot so he can usually nail the tone I go for.

@Xyzzt You can add classes, but maybe run them by me just for the sake of consistency. The Ecology 101 part is to make sure all the players start in the same area. The last time, everyone was doing different things and we got off track pretty quickly.
