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.
FALLING STAR ACADEMY was created by AKIRA. Skin by MINNIE of BACK TO NEVERLAND and edits by Amaryllis.

Codes as seen and used were taken from sites such as Slightly Insane, Social, and Proboards Support. Do not steal anything / take it without permission.
Barely on the island and Sylvestro decided to take on adventuring through the plains. This was his first time exploring anything really, and it gave him a sense of adventure but also a feeling of being exposed to any predator creatures. He had read on how certain Pokémon would act aggressive, and wanted to be careful, so he chose to stay close to the brush of many areas, keen on keeping hidden until he found a Pokémon worth catching. As he explored, he noticed a few herds of Pokémon traveling, such as a group of Bidoofs. a strange Pokémon, regarded as a rather lackluster creature. either way, he continued onward.
The search for something that looks like it wouldn't kill Sylvestro by looking at him halted at the site of a rabbit. It looked rather calm and not really intrigued, so Sylvestro decided to watch it for a bit. It didn't do much but just sort of hop around and eat a few berries, honestly. So without much time passing, Sylvestro continued, hoping to find something to capture. Perhaps something a little less basic and more intriguing to study.
The search led to another pokemon, but much smaller and only noticeable by it's brightly colored fur. A small mouse, big enough to just pick up by even a toddler, the pokemon scurried around sporadically, as if it was in a hurry or avoiding an invisible attacker. either way, the creature seemed to crazy for Sylvestro to study so he left it be.
Dissapointing, truly. two pokemon and bothy were far too radical one way or the other. one too boring, while the other too spontaneous. no matter what, Sylvestro planned to not leave the field empty handed, and decided the next pokemon he encountered.
Luckily, not much time passed between the insanity of the Dedenne, as suddenly a pink Cow charged by randomly, knocking Sylvestro over. Before he could get back up, the Cow turned around and walked up to him. It stared at him for a few moments as Sylvestro got up. Baffled, Sylvestro looked, and realized it was a Miltank.
"So, you knocked me down, did you?" He asked, as it smiled and nodded. Sylvestro chuckled lightly before drawing a pokeball and releasing Electron, his Magnemite. Electron bouned about, then saw the Miltank and figured that Sylvestro summoned him to combat. He spined, tried to glare at Miltank, and the Battle began! Immediately, Sylvestro called for Magnemite to use Magnet rise, getting a temporary boost in height. the Miltank, not noticing this, went for a Rollout, but missed entirely. Electron retorted with a Screech, creating a piercing sound that lowered the Miltanks defense. however, this did not work well, as Miltank went into a defense curl. Then Sylvestro called for Electron to override the Miltank with a Mirror Shot. this struck easily, but brushed off a bit. the Miltank retaliated with Rollout, which Electron spun out of the way. Then, Sylvestro called for another Mirror Shot. unfortunately, the Miltank countered by using Milk Drink, healing it of most of it's wounds. Annoyance became apparent, as Sylvestro called for Electron to smash it with Mirror Shot again. the Miltank took the hit, perfectly fine with it. It didn't even make any move, just stood there. annoyed, Sylvestro went with Spark, hoping to shock the Miltank into at least trying. instead, it stood there, perfectly relaxed. Now truly annoyed, Sylvestro waited for Miltank to use Milk Drin again. this sand off went for about 2 minutes, when Miltank decided to use the move. However, before it could complete it, Electron used Spark, stopping the move in it's place. Absolutely shocked, the Miltank jumped up and tried to use Body Slam on Electron. Not only did this fail, but Electron finished Miltank off finally with a Mirror Shot. thus, the Miltank fell. Impressed, Sylvestro tossed an empty pokeball at the Miltank, hoping to catch it.

You caught the wild Miltank! Add it to your PC and remove the Ball you used from your inventory. Mod's Notes: While I do not agree with the Miltank just "Standing" there I will allow it this time any more subsequent to this without proper reasoning will result in needed modification or capture failure.
