He took another detour. 

Adrian left the hills with his newly caught pokemon and set out to Violet after. He returned to the estate with a badge and an evolved Buddy at his side. This time, however, he did not wander around in the dark for half the night. Instead, he followed the directions Mishu gave him and approached from the OTHER SIDE, where he indeed found a path leading to the doors of the institute. 

Kinda embarrassing how long it took to figure out.

But instead of dwelling on it, he wandered into the odd little academy and recalled his less than stellar school years. At least he wasn't expected to memorize math problems to exist here.

Adrian would ask around for Mishu, just so he could say hello, before absently ending up in the library? A classroom? Hard to tell, really. But it seemed to be a public place with the other people milling around, talking about pokemon and strategy. Someone mentioned a quiz and prizes? 

Huh.

Maybe he could brush up on his pokemon knowledge while here.

 OOC: Easy quiz to start!

[Caramell 🍬]

Mizuma Education Center was the epitome of learning, with classes that catered to all education levels. Instead of being a school or a college in itself, it served as a general education center that helped anyone and everything learn and excel in Pokemon knowledge no matter where they were in their educational journey. Many schools would come from far and wide to sign their students up for the well-known and almost world renown research centers, where students were encouraged to experience learning the exact same ways that many scientists would garner their own educational pathways to knowledge. And sometimes, they were well rewarded for their efforts.

Several student pressed through the halls in uniforms, with young women wearing knee length skirts and button up shirts, while young men wore professional denim pants matched with sleek button up shirts. It was summer so thankfully they traded most of their long sleeves for shorter sleeved attire, though the air conditioning that billows through the vents would transport you away into a world of perfect climatic temperatures that required no breeze to keep you cool. Still, some bundled up only because they preferred slightly higher temperatures, and their constant mutterings underneath their breaths was proof enough that they would easily spin that dial up a few degrees if they could.

A receptionist watched Adrian curiously. Not because he looked out of sorts – uniforms were never a requirement, though many of the younger children were either heavily persuaded by the school systems that sent them or pressured by their peers to fit in. She was worried, given his stature and novice nature of walking through the halls without a clear direction or path, that he might be lost. She pushed herself up from her desk and walked over to him, holding out a hand in greeting.

“Hello there! I’m Penny! I’m here to help newcomers and students alike. Are you trying to find your class or trying to sign up for an available class?” Should Adrian confirm ‘yes’ to either, Penny would walk him over to the directory where he could easily sign up and find out where each class was. Once signed up for one of their easier quizzes within the Educational Institute, Penny would hand Adrian a brief pamphlet with a map in its center, explaining all of the perks of studying at Mizuma Education Center and how many of their students went on to lead very successful careers.

Inside of the classroom, a tall young man with long, curly brown hair and thick rimmed glasses would greet Adrian and gesture to one of the free desks inside of his room. “Welcome, welcome! We were just about to begin! Feel free to introduce yourself to the class if you’d like.” Since it was an easy quiz most of the class was filled with young, doe-eyed children full of hype and enthusiasm. Though in the back of the class sat some older adults much like Adrian himself, quietly awaiting their assignments. The teacher would continue on, addressing the class after giving Adrian a chance to introduce himself only if he chose to. “Hello everyone! I’m Professor Elowen! Today we have an easy quiz on general Pokemon knowledge, which I know many of you are excited to take! And remember, there’s no shame if you don’t know everything right away. This is to see where you’re at, so we can help you along the way. It is not to judge you as a person, so please don’t take the quiz with a negative mindset.” Elowen tried to soothe his testers, before passing out the test – a copy to each.

Adrian found he didn't really have words so he just sorta...nodded at Penny. Sure, classes. He took the pamphlet and soon found himself in a beginner class with a little bit of embarassment. At least he wasn't the only older student here. He'd nod to them in acknowledgement before shuffling to the back of the room to be as invisible as possible.

When offered the chance to introduce himself, he shook his head and shrugged. Just here to learn, not here to make friends. He settled himself at his seat and took a paper, looking it over. Some of the questions were...odd...but he would do his best:

1. Which move can Yveltal learn by tutoring in Generation VIII?
D. Dual Wingbeat

2. What effect does Blackglasses give its holder in battle?

When he finished the quiz, Adrian rubbed his head and flipped the paper over. That was...not easy. Some of those questions sure felt like basic general knowledge, especially for a breeder. But others he had to take a random guess at and hope he got them right. Maybe he would get lucky...or maybe he'd bomb it. But at least it was done.

 OOC: Easy quiz to start!

[Caramell 🍬]

Elowen strolled through the aisles between the desks as he watched his students labor over the quizzes in front of their fac. He wore a bright smile on his face and his overall friendly demeanor was enough reason why many chose to sign up for his classes. Still, there was a no tolerance policy for those that might try to learn off their neighbor’s paper. When Elowen noticed a young boy with bright red head and a face full of freckles leaning over to peer at a young girl’s paper, he silently walked over and gently plucked the paper up off the young man’s desk. “Now, mister Mattias, what have I always said about not taking these quizzes personally?” Elowen asked with a frown.

The young boy turned to the teachers with tears swelling in the corners of his eyes. He was horrified. “No! Please! You don’t understand!” Mattias tried plead his case. Elowen crouched down and placed one hand gently on the young boy’s hand with a shake of his head. He felt for the young man, truly. But he couldn’t show favoritism or make exceptions regardless of the reason. “My momma paid a lot to put me in this school! She said it cost twice her mortgage or something like that and failure is not an option!” Mattias cried angrily. Elowen sighed as he scribbled the large F on the front of the page.

“I can’t make exceptions, young man. I’m going to have to fail this quiz. But remember, this isn’t a personal mark against you, it’s a learning tool. We’ll get this grade up the proper way – without cheating.” Elowen insisted. After that, Elowen would stroll back to the front of the class and clasp his hands together and called everyone’s attention as the last of the testers finished their quiz. “Good job, everyone! Remember, I’m proud of the efforts you’ve made regardless where you fall in this learning lesson.” He’d gather the tests and grade them, then after some time spent grading them he’d pass them back out with a smile. “Oh…and we’d love to see you in class if you plan to stick around.” Elowen paused as Adrian’s desk as he handed Adrian back his graded test.

Elowen would then walk back to his desk to sit down and pulled out a small wing, which he held before the class. "And we have an expert in the field, team! Everyone, please put your hands together for Adrian, who scored a perfect grade! Congratulate him for all his hard work!" The entire class would break out in loud shouts of horrays as they rooted Adrian on, and Elowen would motion for the naturally quiet man to come up to his desk. "This is your prize." Elowen said with a smile.

Moving 1 Clever Wing from Zaiden's Inventory into Adrian's Inventory.

[Pixel]

Say what now? All the answers were right? Oh, uh. Cool. That was...cool. He looked extremely uncomfortable about being praised in front of the classroom, and put on the spot, but he quietly accepts the prize for getting a perfect score before shuffling his way out. Maybe he should check out one of the other free to sit in introduction classes? He didn't exactly have tons of spare cash laying around to attend in a formal fashion yet.

He perused the pamphlet and checked the time. One of the intermediate general knowledge classes would be open to guests soon. Though he had to wonder if today there would be quizzes in every one of these classes? 

Hm. He felt a little odd just wandering around, but nobody had stopped him yet so...

Adrian located the next room and found it thankfully empty. He was early. He settled at the back and got comfortable before other students or a teacher could filter in. He did look around, curious, before settling to play with his phone while he waited. 

The great irony of him volunteering to go to these classes and doing tests when he got away from school as fast as he could when younger. My how times were a change-in.

 OOC:  Medium quiz!

[Caramell 🍬]

The time between the classes allowed for mingling among the students. While time spent studying might have felt longer than average in a given day if you tried to make it a full time thing, there was plenty of time for the students to also cultivate their social experiences with one another. While Adrian hurried off to the next class, finding a seat to himself and sitting down in the quiet room, many of the students ambled slowly past the open door chatting happily away about the lessons they were studying and what they planned to do for the weekend.

“My aunt is taking us to the Safari!” A young girl with short pink hair full of bright blue streaks gossiped to another similarly dressed girl with straight, jet black hair. They clung onto books whose covers read, “Poke…evelopment”[ in places where their arms did not cover up the words. Two young boys rushed up to them and tapped them on the shoulders. When the girls paused in the open doorway and turned to the boys, one shyly glanced as the ground and held a small box of chocolates out nervously. “Uhh… uhm… h-here….uhh…” He stammered anxiously, teeth chattering against each other. “For… your… uh…. sick… uhm… Rattata…” He insisted.

They would pass by in a blur of other students, all living their lives and carrying on conversations. Slowly, with time, the students would file into the class. Though, if Adrian thought that he would be surrounded by pimply-faced young kids whose large eyes were full of life and ambition, he might be sorely remised. While some fit that description, many more were older students well into their teens, with a few college students in their early twenties sitting down in the seats near Adrian. “Oh you’re new!” A tall teenager with wiry black hair and sharp dark brown eyes greeted Adrian, sitting beside him with a wide smile. “I’ve flunked this test 15 times now, but you know what they say? You only truly fail when you finally give up. I’m Damien!” He added cheerfully.

Eventually, the teacher would file in behind them and tap the top of her desk with her hands a few times to get their attention. “Welcome to the Intermediate Quiz. Some of you are taking it to see how tough it is. Mad respect to challenge yourself like that!” She smiled brightly and clapped excitedly. “But many of you are taking this test so that you can move on to advanced classes. No A, no move.” She stated firmly, grabbing the paperwork and passing the quizzes out as her face soured. “The one thing I must warn you about is cheating. Absolutely zero tolerance. Remember my saying in this, ‘Cheat today, get kicked out tomorrow!’.” She laughed and returned to her desk after passing out the tests.

"Uh, hi..." Adrian mumbled as a friendly teen greeted him. He stared at his phone, finding comfort in the distraction it offered. "...just...checking the place out." It was interesting how much older the demographic of students here were compared to the last class. Some looked his age even. At least he didn't stick out too badly here. 

Soon the teacher arrived and started to pass out the quizzes, more or less affirming his suspicion that maybe these walk in lessons were, well, mostly chances to test one's knowledge before signing up for actual classes. Which was fair. He didn't mind. At least the first one proved he wasn't a complete dunce.

With the warning to not cheat ringing in his ear, he pocketed his phone and looked down. Hey, some of these he already knew the answer to right away. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad?

Once finished, he flipped over his paper and leaned back. That one felt...a little easier in places? But harder in others. Maybe he'd spent enough time studying dark pokemon in the hills that the questions related to them came to mind easier.

 OOC:  Medium quiz!

[Caramell 🍬]

The teacher waited patiently for all of the students to finish their tests. She didn’t scour the aisles like most of the other teachers would, though she watched them like a Pidgeot from the comfort of her seat. A small yellow fly hovered high above them, searching from one student to the next in case there would be any sneaky behaviors that their teacher might not catch. When the Cutiefly landed on the teacher’s desk after the last of the students finished their test, she smiled and clapped her hands enthusiastically. “Ya’ll on point with this test or what?!” She immediately hopped up from her seat and walked around to collect the tests. “Everyone behaved this round. That’s rad! Let’s see how you all did!”

The time that followed was radio silence as their teacher graded their work. Careful, meticulous, making down the lines as she went. Some would turned to their neighbors after the silence got to be too much and pick up past conversations with each other. “Yeah, we’re going to Rockwall Canyon this weekend. It’s just outside of Goldenrod and oversees the ocean, I think?” One young boy smile brightly. His friend smiled. “Word? That’s cool, man!” He stated excitedly. “Mom thinks it’s too dangerous but I’ll be 18 soon and she won’t have any say. Wouldn’t even let me start a whole Pokemon journey when I was 10. Can you believe the nerve?! ‘Education is important’. Whatever.”

The teacher would then get up and pass the tests out to each person quietly with a soft smile. She stopped by a few desks and leaned close, telling them something only they were meant to hear. The usual congratulations for those that did well and recommendations for those that were struggling way too much. It was her firm belief that she wouldn’t embarrass her student unnecessarily. “Hey?” She stopped at Adrian’s desk and leaned down near him, careful not to be too close for comfort. “Can you come up to my desk real quick?” If Adrian agreed, she would quietly let him know he passed with flying colored. If not, she’d announce it loudly after returning to her desk. However, when she pulled out his prize, the class went wild with praises. “New kid is Einstein!” “Mad smart dude just waltz in here and flies away with the prize!” “Super smart man must think he’s too cool for school!” “He musta cheated somehow.” “Probably got the answers written on his sleeves.” etc.

Moving 1 Iron Ball over from Zaiden's Inventory to Adrian's.
Adrian has earned 2 MC Coins so far.

[Pixel]

When he was asked to come to the professor's desk he would do so, not putting up any fuss. He didn't think he did all that bad, but he supposed he could have gotten cocky. Maybe it was bad that this test felt easier than the first almost. Probably meant he did way worse and just didn't realize it and—

He blinked as a prize was pulled out.

"Oh."

He got another perfect score.

His face felt a little warm as, despite the professor's efforts, he was put on the spot. He ducked his head and quietly took the prize, tucking it into his pockets, "Um. Cool. Thanks. I...uh...yeah." He cleared his throat and sorta nodded along, flustered and wanting out of the room. 

He didn't consider himself all that smart.

He just...had been trying to fill in those voids in his knowledge upon becoming a trainer. So yeah, sure, he had been studying. But that was to become a better breeder and trainer!

With a small thank you to the professor, he shuffled out and looked to see the location of the last class. The advanced studies. He expected that this was where he finally stumbled over himself. 

Adrian made his way to the room and noted the other students. Early. Then again, if this was the advanced course, of course they would want to make the most of their study time. They were serious about school in ways that he never had been. Adrian found a chair and kept his head down again.

After this test he'd probably go check out the library or something...

 OOC:  I think it's hard quiz time. Apparently it's time to suffer.

[Caramell 🍬]

While Adrian may not have been aware of the Professor that led the advanced studies for the hardest quiz that Mizuma Education Center offered, the kids sure did. They were bright and early, with the knowledge that he often locked the doors of his classroom one minute past the time to prevent late arrivals. His motto was simple: The Early Pidgey gets the Wurmple. He stuck by this class in his normal lectures, and stuck by in during the open quizzes that allowed anyone and everyone to attend them. Though the ‘kids’ that filled his classroom were anything but – with many of them being college bound scholars mixed with actual researchers sitting side-by-side.

“Hello class. My name is Mr. Baobab. It is my pleasure to run the Advanced Studies Quiz to see who gets to place where in our coveted advanced classes.” The elderly gent with hair so grey it was turning white in various places, with a receding hairline that begged to just have the rest of it trimmed announced, slowly walking into the class at a deliberate pace. The rare student or two slipped by him, jumping into their seats as though they were just crossing the invisible finish line to some imaginary race. “And I’m happy to announce that you’re all here on time. Good. No one misses out.” He stated calmly, sternly, turning to pull the door close and locking it in place.

“If you need a quick bathroom break in the middle of class, please approach my desk and calmly let me know. I’ll let you out. When you return just give the door three short knocks. Any other excuses may require a quick rescheduling at my discretion.” Mr. Baobab announced, walking over to his desk and plucking the papers up in his hands. He would approach each desk methodically and place them face down in front of each student with a neutral expression. Occasionally, he needed to pause along the way to push his glasses back up on his face, before continuing to pass them out. “The test is not meant to be taken lightly. That’s the Easy Quiz, if you must know. It is meant to test everything you thought you knew about the Pokemon world.”

He paused at Adrian’s desk and studied the young man casually as he placed Adrian’s test in front of him. “I always welcome new faces. If you do well, I do hope you’ll consider joining for formal lessons. We have income based learning here, so don’t worry about having to have deep pockets. And whatever your goals,” A rather ominous smile spread across his lips, “I promise you we have classes to help you excel there.” He would then walk back to the front of the class. Instead of taking his seat, however, Boabob leaned against his desk and remained standing. “You already know our policy on cheating by now, so I won’t go over them. Basically, if it doesn’t sound like the smartest thing you can do without risking failing by default, I wouldn’t risk it. You all may now begin.” Baobab stated and watched them quietly as they began testing.

Adrian didn't like this professor. Made him feel...picked apart and small and stupid. It was probably just projection or something but he glared at the teach when he mentioned financial aid. Like he could tell Adrian wasn't exactly financially stable yet. Probably because he wandered in here in his dusty street clothes looking like a rumpled punk more likely to spray paint the wall and smoke a cig after than a student. 

Well, he didn't need that. He'd prove it. He wasn't stupid. He'd ace this test too and get out of here...

Adrian put his nose to the grind and scribble down his answers.

 OOC:  I think it's hard quiz time. Apparently it's time to suffer.

[Caramell 🍬]

The students were quick in finishing their tests, though many used the opportunity to go over their answers and finalize their results one final time. Some of them fretted visibly by chewing on the ends of their nails, while others tapped their hands against the sides of their desks and muttered underneath their breaths. In due time, Baobab would walk around the classroom, carefully plucking the pages up from each trainer’s desk and walking them back to his. He graded them, pausing one in a while to glance up at the student whose test he was grading, then returned with careful, “Interesting…” or “Hmm…surprising…” and even a couple of, “Ah, as expected!”

Once he finished grading the results, he would stand back up and pluck the pages up to pass them back out to each trainer respectively. It was a careful, deliberate consideration of the work they did. Many of the students groaned as they flipped their results over. “I knew I wasn’t ready for advanced classes.” A tall young man with curly brown hair grumbled to himself. “I’m not even sure who I was fooling.” Another stared off into the distance through the nearby window and sighed. “There’s always next time, I suppose.” He softly stated with a gentle smile on his lips. A young girl immediately got up with tears in her eyes, test balled up, and walked to the front door. “Your test is stupid! I don’t need validation from anyone.” And stormed out the door in a hurry.

Baobab paused at Adrian’s desk as he placed the page face down. “You were the closest by far. I’m impressed.” He stated firmly. Baobab would pause there for a moment longer as many of the students turned around expectantly, wide eyes hopeful to learn something they hadn’t elsewhere in this instance. Were they looking at the first person in history to receive a perfect score on Baobab’s Advanced Quiz? “Do me a favor young man and never stop studying. You have a promising future ahead of you with such marks, though there’s still some room for improvement.” Then Baobab would walk back to his desk and gesture to the door that the other girl had recently opened. “You’re all free to go now, thank you for your hard work.”

It was over. He messed up a little but...he still felt pretty good about himself. Three quizzes in a row, he could excuse the mistakes for being tired if he wanted. But honestly, the fact he did so well was a surprise in itself. So he gathered his stuff and nodded to the professor, "I...may be back to try again one day." A pause. "...But I'm more of a practical learner than a book learner." He shrugged and filtered out of the class with the rest of the students. 

There had to be more to check out here at the academy.

He heard something about a library and an observation deck. So he'd head out that way and investigate around.
