"It is my great pleasure to welcome you, all of you, to the first semester ever, here at Orre's Gym Leader University. I, headmaster Steven Stone, would like to wish you all the best of luck in the coming months. Each and every one of you right now has equal potential, to be part of a new generation of Gym Leaders. One that truly challenges trainers, as well as providing your own teaching, helping the world of Pokemon battling grow and evolve. You are all here because of exceptional potential, both in battling and the care of your Pokemon, and I will be happy to see each of you reach it."
Steven stepped off the podium after his acceptance speech and went to the back room, letting the faculty members go up and give their spiel. "Damn, I hope these get easier as the years go on. Public speaking is not my forte." And out front in the hall, a mob of hundreds of trainers prepared for the journey to come.And now, let me welcome you all to my roleplay. As you can tell, this is a Pokemon school setting, but with an overarching plot planned, plenty of potential for battles and character development, as well as a large amount of freedom given to the players.
GLU is a two year program to condense all of Pokemon battling theory as well as caretaking into a single curriculum, designed so that every alumni has potential to become a gym leader of any region. GLU promotes a new style, discouraging type specialization and encouraging each trainer to find their own team that can be a consistent challenge to any trainer that comes knocking on the door. While rivalries between students are permitted, friendship is as well, because Steven knows all to well he does not want the best battling prodigies to be against each other. Should a certain shadowy organization come to corrupt them...
