Getting prepared...

Naria laid out her supplies and put a nice picture of a Skitty "You can do it!" on the wall. Naria smilled and sat down at the desk, waiting for her class.

Andy walks in.

"Who's the teacher."

"Me." Naria says, and writes her name on the chalkboard.

Travis bursts into the classroom, panting a lot.

"He-Hel-Hello"Travis manages, taking a seat at a desk. He checks the clock and sees he made it within 8 seconds.

That was too close

Sam jumps in though the window into the classroom and notices everyone inside.

"Hello peoples!"

Andy ignores Sam's window leap.

"Can we just start the class?"

Jeff sneaks outta his backpack pudding and bacon *whispers* her you go Pudding and for me....Starts eating his bacon

"Okay Class. Today we will explain one of the basic battling ways."
Lesson 1
Type Trumphing

Pokemon battling is about one thing, trumping opponent types. Like Grass is beaten by fire. If your opponent pulls out...say, a Chikorita, you should pull out a Cyndaquil.
Fire > Grass
Water > Fire
Grass > Water
Ghost > All types exept psycic

QUIZ TIME!
Your battling opponent pulls out a Squirtle. The pokemon you have on hand are a Turtwig, a Pikachu, Charmander, and Ghost.

ANSWER
Ghost would be invincable to the attacks, but would not cause much damage. The answer is Turtwig.

OO I KNOW TURTWIG -thinks- too easy

Even though you said Turtwig was the answer yourself, Turtwig OR Pikachu would be equally effective against a Squirtle. . .

yeah

'Simple. Say the Ghost was a Gastly. If you had taught it the TM Thunderbolt, it would be effective. But, if we're going basic types, Pikachu or Turtwig would be effective."

Gastly can learn Thunderbolt?

"Through a TM, yes."

Awesome, I'll remember that.

Shi runs in late, but was glad she even made it. She slept in a little too late.

"Sorry I'm late. I'm Shi!"

Shi smiled at everyone, then sat down.

"Hi again Shi"

Shi looked over at the boy.

"Hi...... uh, what's your name? You never did tell me."

"Oh yeah i didn't my name is Sam"

"Hello Sam."

Shi started sticking her hand out, but remembered he didn't know how to do a handshake.

"Well, hopefully this class will be fun."

Tim sat in the back of the classroom to where he seemed to be unnoticed by all the others. He quickly cleared his throat, and sat up in his chair.

Don't take offense to my interruption, Miss Narni, but there were several highly inportant things you left out when you mentioned ghost pokemon. For example, it is true that ghost pokemon do have an advantage over most pokemon based on their high special attack stats, but should they be outsped by another pokemon using a special attack(IE: squirtle with a water gun) they would in most cases take severe damage due to the fact that most ghost pokemon have a very low special defense, not to mention there defense is almost as insignificant. Also, ghost type attacks have no effect on normal type pokemon, as normal and fighting type attacks have no effect on them.

Tim felt the eyes of everyone in the classroom on him, and he knew why. Of course he read and studied for over 6 years of his life before even deciding to come to the academy, but he couldn't help himself. He bet most of them thought he was some sort of know-it-all showoff, even though he tried hard not to be.

"Uhh, what does that have to do with anything? We're talking about elemental advantages."
