Chapter - 12 : Principal's Office
---
"Those students who did not awaken, please gather your belongings and return to your homes," the teacher announced. Upon hearing this, the students who had failed to awaken started packing their bags and exited the classroom. A similar scene unfolded in the other classes as well.
Ellie, too, packed her bag and before leaving, she informed Joseph and Zack that she would be waiting for them at the nearby Pokémon Center, where Zack's mother worked as a nurse.
Once the unawakened students had departed, Ms. Ellen instructed the remaining students to assemble at the school ground, where the principal would address them.
After the students had left, Ms. Ellen exited the classroom and made her way towards the principal's office. As she walked, she heard a voice calling her name. She turned around and saw four other teachers from the remaining classes also heading towards the principal's office.
Suddenly, Lulu exclaimed, "Hey Ellen, did you hear? Miss Karen's class had 4 successful awakenings, and one of them awakened dragon type." Ellen was taken aback by this news, her expression showing surprise. Karen couldn't help but smirk at Ellen's reaction.
Dragon type Pokémon are widely regarded as powerful and prestigious. Successfully awakening as a dragon type brings immense recognition and places the individual in the spotlight. It signifies exceptional potential and often garners attention from trainers, researchers, and even fellow Pokémon enthusiasts. The rarity and strength associated with dragon types make them highly sought after, adding an extra layer of significance .
Karen's happiness upon hearing about the successful awakening of dragon type Pokémon was not solely due to the achievement itself. Deep down, Karen harbored a lingering resentment towards Ellen, rooted in their shared history. They had been rivals since their school days, and their competition intensified when they both developed feelings for the same person. In the end, that person chose Ellen, leaving Karen feeling hurt and determined to prove herself as formidable.
Karen's relentless pursuit of power and victories was driven by her unyielding determination to surpass Ellen and establish herself as a formidable force. Over the past four years, she had consistently outperformed Ellen in terms of the number of successfully awakened students. Each time she achieved a new milestone, it further solidified her status and added to her growing reputation.

The recent awakening of a dragon type Pokémon in her class was a significant triumph for Karen. Not only did it showcase her ability to guide and nurture powerful Pokémon, but it also added a prestigious achievement to her already impressive track record.
The teachers entered the principal's office, taking their seats in front of him. The atmosphere in the room was a mix of anticipation and curiosity. Principal Jones, a respected figure in the school, looked at the teachers with a stern yet observant gaze. He cleared his throat and began addressing them.
"Good afternoon, esteemed teachers," Principal Jones started. "I have reviewed the results of the awakening ceremony, and I must say that this year's outcome has been the best in all these years. We have seen an unprecedented number of successful awakenings, and I commend all of you for your hard work and dedication."
Karen's smile widened, seemingly pleased with the mention of the successful awakenings. Ellen and the other teachers maintained their composed demeanor, eagerly awaiting the principal's next words.
"Karen, your track record of exceptional results over the past four years continues to impress, and once again, your class has astounded us with a student who successfully awakened a dragon type," Principal Jones acknowledged."Thank you, Principal Jones," Karen expressed with gratitude, her smile radiating with satisfaction.
"Lulu, Nick, and Mike, I want to extend my congratulations to each of you as well. Your classes have demonstrated remarkable success with two awakened students per class," the principal said, smiling. The three teachers expressed their gratitude and thanked him for the recognition.
"The person who has surprised me the most is you, Ellen. Your previous results may not have been outstanding, but this time you have achieved something that will be incredibly difficult to surpass in the future," the principal said, beaming with pride. Karen and the other three teachers exchanged doubtful glances as they looked at Ellen, who maintained a composed expression without revealing her emotions.
"Miss Ellen's class has achieved a remarkable feat by successfully awakening 9 students, surpassing our previous record of 6 students," said the principal, leaving Karen and the other teachers in disbelief. Ellen expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, principal."
"Alright, let's continue our discussion later. It's time to address all the awakened students on the school ground," said the principal. They all left the office and made their way towards the ground.
