Ethan listened curiously, and came to conclusion that this wasn’t much different than boarding school in Galar or universities in Unova. The main difference was, this academy offered new flair of classes to attract students and maybe the parents who enroll their children.
“Uh, we can if that’s what you would like. But I could also skip that and go straight to the dormitories. I’m sure walking by your students having their bites or meals would suffice.” Ethan replied, nonchalant about the next step of the tour. He could tell that there’s a variety of food options here, and nobody would get bored every day learning here. Heck, he wouldn’t be surprised if culinary students also helped making some of these dishes and snacks as part of their training.
”So, the dormitories. Are they different designs for each one or they’re a clones of each other?” he asked, as architects copying designs to be reused another building wasn’t a new idea.

Mishu shook her head gently. This was a chance for Ethan to experience everything that the Education Center had to offer, and perhaps decide if it was something he would be interested in going forward. Whether he worked remotely and only added suggestions for improving the musical achievements of some of her students or chose to take an active role guiding and instructing a class of his own, Mishu wanted him to get a good feel of the area. “We can go to the dormitories. They’re just a stretch across the halls.” She stated, leading him clear over to the other side of the building.
The dormitories were broken up into three main buildings nestled beside each other and labeled with their corresponding gender affiliations. The middle dormitory remained a mixture – where individuals who either wouldn’t feel comfortable in the male assigned or female assigned dormitories or who did not fully orient to either of those given roles could take up residence. Thus is was labeled instead as a co-ed space to lessen the need to get technical with the student that asked for a room, with each of the dormitories to either side being the corresponding male or female dormitory.
“The dormitories are pretty much generically modeled all the same, though we do allow students the option to have their customized for them. Dormitories that allow for multiple inhabitants must have all that are staying sign as waver in agreement with each other for any major changes and students are expected to cover most of the associated costs for purely cosmetic reasons. Any other reasons related to accessibilities that would otherwise pose a risk to the student, we always strive to cover all accommodation fees of.” She stated with a rich, warm smile.

Ethan followed along with the educator, and assessed that it shouldn’t be too far for any potential musicians or hobby musicians to attend a class. The dormitories were high enough to look like they’ll cover a lot of students, and inclusive enough to accommodate students.
He smiled and listened to Mishu’s explanation of their dormitories. They have designed it pretty well to cover all types of students enrolling in the academy. “Sounds good! Well, let’s go back to that office and discuss the trial class. We can see how this works out.”
After the discussion and getting his luggage back, he would venture into the cave and see what it was about. He wasn’t expecting anything besides Zubat or Geodude.

After their discussions on Ethan’s future within the Education Center and getting some of the details worked out between them, Mishu went back to her officer. She buried herself in busy work she could no longer keep pushing off. There remained many moving parts when one wanted to keep such a packed academy up and running, with so many faculty and staff along with students romping throughout their magnificent hallways. Therefore, it was good that after their spell together, Mishu returned to these tasks even when some might prove more mind-numbing than educational. Why was it so hard to get small loans and grants approved, with the mountain of evidence they require being presented in a timely fashion?! Zubats clung to the top of the ceiling as Ethan made his way inside the cave. There was a section surrounded by a steep ledge with no way to climb it. Though there was a small, passable spot where Ethan could scale up the side of the ledge, if he had any Pokemon who could use strength to move a small boulder out of the way. One of the leathery winged bats dropped from the ceiling with its wings spread out wide. It cried loudly and flitted about in a dizzy haze, mouth wide open to try and snag the first bug that might flit by inside of Sepulchral Cave. When its voice bounced off Ethan and re-entered its large, almost rabbit-like ears, the eyeless bat stopped in mid-air and hovered. Strangers? In its cave? “Uh….Hello?” A shaky voice called from the flighty bat. Were they friend or foe? It wasn’t even sure if it wanted to know. But where else would Zubat go? This cave was its home, where many of its brothers and sisters were hatched and grew up, and where it planned to make its first nest with a special bat it just hadn’t met yet. “Please…we lived here a long time…we mean you no harm. Can you leave us alone in peace?” The Zubat was pleading at the top of its lungs. A Wild Zubat has appeared! Level 35. What will Ethan do? Shiny? KO2Unm2up_1-42 Pokemon: (rare) p_1-6 (level) p_27-37

Inside the cave, Ethan finally heard a sound from the lurking Pokemon. Then, it became a cry and fluttering of wings. A lone Zubat flew in front of him wildly, keeping its distance and heeding its warning.
The trainer had another plan and sent out a Pokemon to face the foe. “Haphrost, use bite!” He pointed at the Zubat. The ice type looked up and saw the sleek fluttering cavern resident, and then waited for an opportunity or two, to bite on the poison type when it would get closer.
"Hello! Hello! Hello!" The Snorunt, who didn't hear the Zubat's plea earlier, giddily greeted as he jumped and danced on his spot. He was in a really good mood today!

It seemed diplomacy wasn’t going to work for this group. Oh well, what’s a bat to do, am I right? It fluttered around them in large circles, trying to avoid the strange little icy Pokemon’s sharp teeth. As soon as Haphrost managed to jump up and bite it, Zubat squealed loudly. Owch! You bit oaf! That really hurt, ya know! Did your mother Snorunt teach you absolutely no manners?! Hmph! Well, Zubat wasn’t going to let this Pokemon have the last bite. We’ll just see about that. It spun around on its webbed wings, twisting itself so that it could get close enough to Haphrost. Then Zubat bit down with all its might, trying to draw blood from its victim. You unhand the bat this instance, you ruffian! Zubat already had enough of their crap and wanted them to leave the cave right then and there! Haphrost whipped around, not the least deterred by the strange bat. It tried to create a wide guard of lights to protect itself. This always worked on predators that would ambush Zubat and strike when the flighty mammal least expected it! How was Haphrost able to just chew straight through it all, like nothing even happened?! The bat squealed loudly in pain, warning its companions dangling from the ceiling above to flee it while they could! Though…none listened.

ooc: bite then Pokeball
The two Pokemon were chasing and avoiding each other, while trying to land a bite at each other. This flying type Pokemon wasn't fond of the human's presence in the cave, as well as his Pokemon. The Snorunt was puzzled innocently at the Zubat's words. "Huh? Do you prefer I don't bite you but make it chilly here instead? I also don't know who my mother is. Does it matter?"
The poison type then created some strange lights, but the Snorunt wasn't sure what was going on or what happened. "Ooh, that's pretty! How did you do it?" The ice type giggled in delight.
Finally, Ethan spoke up after the two Pokemon chased each other and blabbered at each other. "Haphrost, use Bite again, and then standby okay?" The trainer grabbed a Pokeball, and readied himself to hurl the capture device after his young Pokemon would take another bite on the opponent.

The small blue bat zipped around the open cave and clung to the stalactites high above Haphrost. That tiny little cretin was an absolute menace! It could feel the pain running through its veins where Haphrost bit it and it didn’t seem like the little hat-looking thing was going to give up very easily. What was a bat supposed to do? It wondered quietly, eyeless head looking around with loud screeches as its echolocation painted a picture of the terrain in its head. “I know who my mother is. She’s sleeping up on the roof over there.” Zubat gestured. It fluttered down, foolishly thinking just maybe Haphrost’s kindness meant he wouldn’t bite again. CHOMP! What in the world?! “Biting really hurts me, you know! Just look at my wings! All tattered and torn! I’ll never fly again!” Zubat gestured to a teeny, tiny little nick in one of its wings and flopped around on the ground dramatically, hoping to cause the two to leave. Nope. Instead, the mean little thing’s big old, mean trainer tossed a ball! Zubat struggled but couldn’t escape. Ding! Ethan captured the little guy easily. ![](https://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen3/rusa/361.png) Haphrost gained 1750 EXP to [4160/4681 EXP]! Haphrost gained +1 ❤️ to [+11 Happiness]!

OOC: Frost Breath x2 on Zubat or Golbat. No need to roll shiny
"Up there where? I don't see her..." The Snorunt looked up, but the cave was kind of dark on the tall ceilings and the ice type Pokemon was short, and wasn't known for their vision. Not to mention with the way the Zubat was flying and with wings for arms, it was hard to tell where it was pointing.
"Huh? Who told you your wings are torn and tattered? They look fine to me. How else are you flying if they were torn?" Haphrost was further confused by this Zubat damsel in distress. He wasn't sure if the Zubat knew what it was saying, before saying it. As usual per Ethan's fashion, the Zubat was sucked into a Pokeball before the ice type got an answer. Heh, maybe another time. The trainer kept the orange Pokemon out of the Pokeball, and kept looking around for more Zubat, or other Pokemon, who might be good training for an ice type.

Another bat soared down from the ceiling above. It stretched its wings out wide and called to the strangers that prodded through the rocky terrain. Were they lost? Often times, the bats would encounter whole teams of lost trainers trying to navigate their way back out of the very straightforward cave. It could help it in that case! “Hello, friend! I can help you find the exit!” What it wouldn’t realize was just how chilling its newfound friend could be! A wave of ice and snow slapped the wild bat in the face, causing it to speed off back towards the ceiling above to hide away from its opponent. They were just simply too strong! A murmur escaped the crowd, who huddled together and chatted away in hushed whispers. Would Ethan pack it and go? Or should they think of sending another to greet the strangers? A Wild Zubat appeared! Level 33. It couldn't stand Haphrost, though! ![](https://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen3/rusa/361.png) Haphrost gained 1650 EXP to [5810/4681 EXP]!

"Oh no, we're not looking for the exit!" Haphrost hopped happily and replied to the Zubat, before his icy breath discouraged the flying Zubat and sent it away. The flying rodent went back to its group and chattered amongst them. The Snorunt got disappointed when the opponent flew away again."Aww, bye bye!"
Ethan stepped onto the rocky ground and could feel some pebbles slide against each other. Obviously, his force would not be enough to crush the rocks. He was thankful that the ground wasn't slippery, as it would be hazardous to slip on. He looked around and could only see the faint movements in the shadow, which he would presumed was just Zubats and Golbats. He wondered if other Pokemon lived in this dimly lit cave, or there were really only Zubats and Golbat. There was no way a clan of Zubat and Golbat would run out other species living in a cave.

Another lonely bat fluttered down from the ceiling above. It landed on the ground and folded its wings up at its side. Though Zubat lacked eyes, the strange leathery winged creature seemed to stare intensely at Haphrost and his trainer. Was it contemplating the purpose of their visit or something else entirely that seemed to spin inside the inner workings of their brain? Who knew. After a moment of quiet reflection, it would lift one wing up dramatically as though to point to the ceilings above and cough to clear its throat. “A friend! It’s so nice to have one! I forgot what that felt li-!Haphrost’s strong, icy breath sent the small critter scurrying through the large cave, far away from Ethan’s side. What a painful breath! Where did such a creature even come from?! Another bat, who refused to come down for obvious reasons, covered its mouth and chuckled with a wide grin. “We’ve been trying to scare that guy off for weeks. Thank you! He never shuts up about himself! Do you want some ceiling fruit for food or something?” It asked, pointing to a very uhm…strange looking plant that grew along the ceiling and wrapped its long vines around the long, sharp stalactites. It definitely didn’t look appetizing or safe to eat, though. A Wild Zubat has appeared! Level 35. What will Ethan do? Pokemon: ht0|wVlRp_1-42 (rare) p_1-6 (level) p_31-41

Another Zubat dove down, and which the Snorunt quickly sent off with a frosty breath. Ethan merely ducked under presumptuously, but thankfully the flying Pokemon was far enough to smack him with its wings. Ethan kept on walking, and he was beginning to wonder how big this cavern room was.
Haphrost heard the conversation from the ceiling=clinging Zubat, and shouted back as he wondered. "Maybe he's lonely? Or maybe he wants to be recognized? What's a ceiling fruit?" The ice type chattered gleefully as he looked at the ceiling. Ethan stopped as he heard his Pokemon's conversation, and wondered what the Snorunt and the cave-dwelling Zubats were chatting about. Their conversations couldn't be this exciting.

Suddenly a chill crawled through the flock of Zubat that lived on the rooftops of the inner cave walls. One of them gestured with a wing, covering its face, and whispered loudly. Another piped up, “You’re absolutely right!” Immediately, an elder bat smacked the youngster hard. Clearly, what the youngster shouted out was greatly disapproved of. What if their newfound friend heard them and took offense?! “Watch your tongue!” The elder snapped. They all turned to one Zubat in particular who was dead asleep. Small bubbles formed from its nostrils and grew with every exhalation. What a good dream this Zubat must have been having! It even waved its wings around erratically, as though it were karate chopping foes in its sleep. AHEM! One of the elder bats nudged the sleeping bat. No dice. NUDGE HARDER!. Still nothing. OK, THEN, YOU GET THE BITE, SONNY BOY!Hey, ouch! The sleeping bat awoke, blinking profusely. What in the world? “Go and apologize for your son.” The bat tilted its head. Clearly, it wasn’t aware of the youngster’s outburst. SMACK! “I said, go apologize for your BOY! Are you deaf?!” Grampa bat just wasn’t having any of it. So eventually, the once sleeping bat fluttered down and landed on the ground in front of Haphrost. AHEM. It pressed the tip of its wing against its lips and coughed nervously. “I’m sorry for my son, or whatever.” The wild Zubat apologized halfheartedly. A Wild Zubat has appeared! Level 38. What will Ethan do? Pokemon: Us7QJeWcp_1-42 (rare) p_1-6 (level) p_31-41

Ethan and Haphrost heard murmurs and whispers in the cavern's ceiling, but were unable to discern where exactly the Zubats were chattering as they were hiding pretty well in the tall ceiling. Soon enough, a lone Zubat came flapping its wings down and apologized to the Snorunt. The orange ice type was puzzled. "What are you apologizing about? Son?"
Then he made some connections in his head. "Oh, your son was the one who came by earlier? Don't worry about it. I don't mind chitchatting with other Pokemon." He said, as his frosty breath escaped his mouth. Then, as if inspired by the topic of family relations, he continued as he giggled. "Do you have a big family? Do you have multiple families? Do you guys share the ceiling fruit? Do you guys eat together or on your own?" He had many questions about how these Zubats live in this cave, and was amused how they operate.
