Aleksandar's Arrival

Aleksandar zipped his leather jacket up and shivered, it was mightily cold! He put a hand on the large hardwood doors and pushed, his breath crystallising on the freezing metal handles. He slipped inside as to draw no attention to himself, but seeing not many students, he stepped into a normal pace, going in a random direction.

Ashley noticed the newcomer and gave him a small wave

Aleksandar gave Ashley an even smaller wave and opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't think of anything to say, so he swiftly shut it again

She walked over and gave him a gentle smile "hi there! are you new?"

"Da" He said in his Russian accent, giving her a tiny smile back.

Ashley remembered that "da" meant yes,remembering she has a russian aunt "well,it's nice to-oh!" she thought to herself for a minute "priyatno s vami poznakomitʹsya!" she said to him, holding out her hand "my name is Ashley!" she said,trying to be as clear as possible,as she only knew the tiniest bit of Russian

"Aleksandar Stravinskov" He said, acknowledging her greeting and shaking her hand softly.

she smiled at him "i only know a tiny bit of russian,but my aunt is teaching me!"

"I prefer English" He Murmured simply, staring at the floor. He released his pikachu, who he patted on the head.

Ashley seen the pikachu "wow,so cool!" she said as her skitty popped up of top of her head as usual. skitty gave pikachu a wave

A cheeky little shiny Zorua came running down the hall hiding behind the new comer.

Ashley bent down and patted it on the head

Shouting and footsteps could be heard from down the hall. "ZOEY!!! GET BECK HERE!!!" Tala called.

Aleksandar's head turned from his Pikachu to the sound of shouting and his eyes widened in fear. He looked at the Zorua and picked her up, stroking her head.

Ashley smiled and waved to tala "hey there!"

"Hi Ash, I tried to get Zoey to eat some carrots and she runs!" Tala groaned turning to the new boy. "Oh, hello. I'm Tala and I promise I'm not always this scary, sorry if Zoey gave you any problems!" she giggled refering to the shiny Zorua.

"Aleksandar Stravinskov. She is yours?" He asked, slightly less scared. He held the Zorua out to the strange girl and smiled Shyly.

Tala gave a grin taking Zoey gently. "Da, her name is Zoey but sometimes I call her Zo-zo! So you're new around here eh? If you want we can show you around?" she offered as she put Zoey onto one shoulder and Band popped up on her other shoulder, "And this is Band!" she said referring to the meowth.

"I'd rather explore on my own" Alek said as softly as he could without sounding offensive, not trusting the two trainers. He looked between the Meowth and the Zorua and raised his eyebrows, wondering why she had such a mixed bag of Pokemon types.

Tala gave a gentle grin. "Alright if you're sure. Well, if you ever have any questions me and Ashley will try our best to answer them, ok?" Zoey nuzzled Tala cutely giving her puppy dog eyes. "Fine, you can have a poffin!" she sighed pulling out some poffins. "Would your Pikachu want one?"

Ashley nodded,moving her skitty from her head to her arms

Pikachu nodded, his Trainer's Poffins were brilliant, so when he heard the word Poffin, he rushed forwards. "Be careful Sparky!" He warned, hoping he wouldn't crash into Tala's legs with the momentum he gathered.

Tala gave a giggle "Eager aren't you? Here!" she passed the bag of poffins over after taking a few poffins and giving them to her pokemon. "I like to make things for my pokemon, I'm working on a little project right now," she smiled.

Pikachu gave a smile to Tala and returned to his trainer's side. "Actually... May you give me a tour of the place?" He asked, his English not as good as a fluent speaker.

Tala gave a grin "Sure! Come on Ashley, let's start at the classroom, unless you wanna start somewhere else?" Tala beamed.
