Chapter - 6 : Before the awakening

---

Both Zack and Joseph reached their classroom, finding the atmosphere filled with a mix of anticipation and tension. Students chattered amongst themselves, their nerves palpable in the air. Navigating through the desks, they settled into their seats, trying to calm their racing thoughts.

Just as they began to find some semblance of peace, their concentration was broken by the familiar voice of Ellie Doe. She approached their desks with an enthusiastic smile, her eyes reflecting a combination of excitement and nervousness.

"Hey there, you two! How are you holding up?" Ellie greeted them, her voice filled with genuine curiosity. "I can't believe it's finally here—the day we've all been waiting for!"

Zack and Joseph exchanged glances, acknowledging the shared anticipation. "We're hanging in there, Ellie," Zack replied, a hint of nervousness still evident in his voice. "It's a big day for all of us, isn't it?"

Ellie nodded, her excitement contagious. "Absolutely! But you know what? We've trained so hard for this. I have faith that we'll do great. We've got each other's backs, right?"

Ellie is Joseph's girlfriend and they are childhood sweethearts , they have known each other since the kindergarten . Zack joined them when he shifted to their school at the age of 8 years.

Joseph's voice carried a hint of uncertainty as he voiced his concerns. "I don't know, man! What will I do if I don't awaken?" He pondered for a moment, then continued, "Zack, you and Ellie have always had a strong affinity for Pokémon. Even if you guys failed to awaken as trainers, you can still pursue your dreams as skilled Pokémon breeders."

Zack listened attentively, understanding the weight of Joseph's worries. "Joseph, I understand your concerns, but remember that awakening the system is just one path to becoming a trainer. There are many ways to contribute to the world of Pokémon and make a difference. If awakening doesn't happen today, we'll find another way to follow our passion."

Becoming a Pokémon breeder offers individuals a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on the Pokémon world and play a significant role in its development. These breeders possess a deep understanding of Pokémon genetics, behavior, and potential, allowing them to shape the future of Pokémon species.

Irrespective of whether an individual awakens or not, anyone with a passion for Pokémon breeding can pursue their dreams by clearing a specialized exam designed for aspiring Pokémon breeders. This exam serves as the gateway to admission into prestigious institutions specialised in Pokémon Breeding.

Upon successful completion of the program and graduation from any Pokémon Breeding University, individuals earn the prestigious title of a certified Pokémon breeder. Becoming a certified Pokémon breeder opens doors to a variety of opportunities in the Pokémon world. Graduates can establish their own breeding facilities, work in renowned Pokémon centers, collaborate with other trainers, or even become consultants for breeding programs. Their expertise is highly sought after, and they play a vital role in advancing the field of Pokémon breeding through their knowledge, experience, and dedication.

The students quickly settled into their seats as Miss Ellen, their class teacher, addressed them. The room hushed, anticipation and curiosity filling the air.

"Please take your seats, everyone. Before we proceed with the awakening ceremony, there are a few important things I need to discuss," Miss Ellen said, her voice calm yet commanding the attention of the students.

As the students attentively listened, Miss Ellen emphasized the significance of the moment they were about to experience. She reminded them that awakening their latent abilities as Pokémon trainers was not only a personal journey but also a responsibility that came with great power.

"Today, as you awaken your potential as Pokémon trainers, it is vital to remember the values that define our community," Miss Ellen continued, her gaze sweeping across the room. "We must always treat all living creatures with respect, show empathy towards Pokémon, and understand that our actions shape the bond between humans and Pokémon."

"In the world of Pokémon, we are more than just trainers; we are guardians, caretakers, and companions," Miss Ellen emphasized. "As you awaken, never forget to foster this bond, to protect and cherish the Pokémon under your care."

"And lastly," Miss Ellen concluded, her voice filled with warmth, "Remember that even if you failed to awaken , we are with you . So don't be nervous and best of luck to everyone."
