Falling Star Academy is set on a man-made island, which is quite large. With it's various types of land and climates, it is able to host a wide variety of Pokemon from several regions making it an ideal place for people who want to become a trainer, but don't quite have the confidence or motivation to explore an entire region. The many different biomes allow one to do plenty of exploration while not having to go very far, and will hopefully get them used to the idea of actually traveling through a region one day. The most notable feature of the island itself is that it is actually in the shape of a five-pointed star. Valeria Saren, who established the Academy and serves as the headmistress, named it "Falling Star Academy" because she likes to think of the academy as a place that grants the wishes of its various students...just like how people occasionally make a wish when they see an actual falling star.
In what is known as the Central Area, the main school building and staff dormitories are located. With the possible exception of the Alpina Ruins, the school is easily the largest building on the island. A Pokemon Lab is also located here, and is it there that students will go to receive their starter Pokemon.
There are also five dorms, each one representing one of the five Japanese elements, and located in a different area of the island. There's the Air Dorm to the north, the Water Dorm to the south, the Fire Dorm to the east, the Earth Dorm to the southeast, and, finally, the Void Dorm to the southwest.

Rainna sang happily as she skipped through the Plains with her Litleo by her side. "Tell everybody I'm on my way~ New friends and new places to see~" she smiled, her skip keeping in tune with the lyrics. Her Litleo just walked along beside her rocking his head back and forth as his trainer sang happily. Rain took a small break to look at the little lion cub. "So what do you think we will see here? Or meet? Oooo I would love a cute little Electric Type!" the female squealed happily before whistling softly to herself.
The Litleo purred, looking at his trainer with soft eyes. 'Lit Litleo!'
Rainna giggled. "You're right Leo, we have to be prepared for anything." she said happily to the lion. Well, it was more so to her own thoughts than to the Pokemon.
Rainna's humming came to a stop as she seen the little Heloptile across the way. However, it really wasn't what she was looking for so she walked right past it. "Come on Leo! Let's find us something awesome!" she exclaimed, her skipping never ceasing. The Fire/Normal Type blinked and followed his trainer farther into the plains. She stopped and looked around once more, not caring about the noises of the lightening strikes at all. "Hmmm~ Let's see...."
The Litleo sat beside the trainer and blinked, looking around as well. He was definitely curious as to what Pokemon would show up next.
The female looked around before sighing. At first she didn't believe that she would ever find a new friend. That is until she felt her Litleo paw at her pants. "Huh? What is it Leo?" she asked before slowly following his gaze. There in the bushes not to far from them was the brown body of a Pokemon. "Oh....what's that?" she asked herself before slowly inching her way up to the form. Her eyes lit up happily. There before her was a Dedenne. It took everything in her not to squeal and chase it away.
It seemed to notice her anyway, though, because it looked up at her. It blinked before starting to scurry away quickly. Rainna frowned. "Wait come back!" she exclaimed before quickly chasing after him.
"Quick, Leo! Use Noble Roar! Try to stop it!" she exclaimed again. The Litleo ran as fast as he could, letting out a large roar. This seemed to make the Electric/Fairy type stop and shiver in fear. It then looked up at Rainna with it's adorable eyes.
"Please don't run! I just want to be your friend!"
The Dedenne blinked before using Charm on Litleo. Rainna pouted as she saw the charm effect her Leo. "Aww, are you going to battle then? Fine! Leo use Fire Fang on it!"
The Litleo nodded and rand towards the Dedenne before attempting to bite it. Luckily enough for Rainna, it seemed to work. "Yes! Since I weakened it I can do this! Go Pokeball!"
The green haired Air Dormer then threw a Pokeball at the Electric/Fairy mouse.
Sorry, but it's going to take more than a single weaked Fire Fang to bring this Pokemon's health down enough for it to be caught. You can keep going and try again, or move on to a different Pokemon
Rainna believed she had caught it. "Yay!" she exclaimed. However, before she could pick up the Pokeball, the Dedenne popped out and stared at her, which caused her to stare back. It was then it scratched it's fur and started to run off again. "Nooooo! Come back, Dedenne! I wanna be friends! Please?!" she exclaimed, chasing after the Dedenne. Her Litleo followed her on her 'quest' to chase down the Electric/Fairy type. However, that was short-lived as she tripped.
Falling flat on her face, she watched as the Dedenne disappeared. Tears came to her eyes. "Awww....It ran away...I wasn't able to catch it..." this really broke the young girl's heart. She sniffled, sitting up before sobbing into her hands. Leo rolled his eyes as he sat with his trainer, gently using his paw to 'pet' the girl comfortingly.
From afar, the Dedenne sat and watched, it soon feeling bad about leaving Rainna to sit there on the ground. It pondered and thought before it slowly came out of hiding and sat there in front of the young girl, who looked up in utter surprise.
"You came back? Why? I thought you wanted to go play with your little friends..."
The little mouse shrugged before scurring not too far away. Rainna blinked before grinning. "You'll give me a second chance to catch you? Yay! I'll get you Dedenne!"
It was then the Litleo took his stand in front of Rainna, who smirked. "Okay, Leo. Let's start this off with Fire Fang!" she exclaimed, watching as the lion cub run at the Dedenne, using it's full speed as momentum while it opened it's mouth. However, the Dedenne had other plans. It dodged the attack before using Nuzzle on the Litleo.
While it stung the little lion, Leo stood proudly. Rainna smiled at this. "That's right, Leo we aren't going down yet! Use Overheat!" she called out.
The Litleo gave a roar as it sent out a massive heat wave with all it's might and power. If his trainer wanted this Dedenne, then she would have it. The little Electric/Fairy went wide eyed and tried to escape it, but it was unsuccessful. "That's it, Leo! Come on!" she hopped up and down before noticing the Dedenne was no where to be seen.
She blinked. "Where did you...Oh no! Leo look out!" she cried, however, it was too late. The Dedenne had used it's Parabolic Charge, causing Litleo to be hit while it restored it's HP. 'I have to figure out how to beat it so I can capture it.' she thought for a moment, before grinning. "Litleo, try to hit it again with Overheat, let's go!"
The Fire Type roared again as it sent out a heat wave, a little stronger than the last. It was pissed off now, which meant it was going to go all out. The Dedenne attempted to dodge but to no avail. Rainna then pulled out a Pokeball. "All right, Dedenne, you are mine!" she exclaimed throwing the ball at the little mouse.
