Hello, Smash Academy… My goodness, it's quite chilly here… I truly was not expecting this much snow! It is not nearly as cold in Celadon.

But no matter. Cold as it may be, we shall persevere. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Erika. I am the Leader of the Celadon Gym in Kanto… I do hope you are not growing weary of us, seeing how many of my peers have arrived before me… The winter months in Celadon leave one desiring more, as it is not a popular time for trainers to travel. I have heard that this school has much to offer, and I hope you'd allow me to teach you the beauty that can be found in the world's flora.

…You could also say I am somewhat concerned about a few things. I hope I will not be an intrusion to my fellow gym leaders.

Would someone be so kind as to show me the way to your green house?

Hello ba!

[natureprincess]

Oh! A bulbasaur... What a lovely sight to be greeted with... Hello, little one.

[rockinthrutime.livejournal.com]

ARE YOU ALL FOLLOWING ME.

I was expecting a few more of you to show up. Greetings, Erika.

[natureprincess]

It certainly appears to be that way!

I do hope we aren't being a bother... Greetings.

[rivalrazorleaf]

I didn't think all the gym leaders were going to start showing up! ... You're not here to yell at Green, are you?

[natureprincess]

[Oho, that would be why this Bulbasaur seemed so familiar.]

I do have something to tell him, but I assure you that I will not be "yelling" at him.

Has he been treating you well?

[pineneedleseer]

Our princess appears, what a surprise~

Welcome, Erika.

I hardly believe you would be an intrusion, don't even think it.

[natureprincess]

... Morty! I should say the surprise is my own... I didn't know you had come here as well!

Thank you. ... It's been a while, hasn't it? How have you been?

You're too kind.

[rockinthrutime.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Everyone is welcomed to this school.

I shall be attending your class.

Greetings! Why must we grow weary of new faces? Your origins should not concern me, and I happily welcome you to the academy. My name is Olimar, pleased to meet you.

Ah, funny you mention flora. As the school's biology teacher, I am quite fascinated by botany. Earth's environment is very unlike my home planet's. For a majority...

If you would like, I would be more than happy to show you where the green house is located.

Hello! I'm very pleased to have you here. Let me introduce myself! My name is Rhys, and I teach health class. Hopefully, we'll meet up soon. You sound like a nice person.

[badasstrenches.livejournal.com]

Well well! It seems like gym leaders really are poppin' up right and left! Heh, not that I can blame anyone. This place certainly lives up to all the hype. It's good to see ya!

If you're a gym leader how come you ain't teachin' PE?

[pitticus.livejournal.com]

Greetings, Miss Erika! My name is Pit. I'm a freshman. Freshman representative, in fact! What are you teaching? Is it about plants and flowers?

[natureprincess]

I have been noticing that you all seem very kind. I am sure I will enjoy my stay here, thank you.

It will be a pleasure to have you in class... Ah, forgive me. What was your name?

[pineneedleseer]

Oh well, I only arrived here a short while ago, myself.

I've been well. Was your trip here comfortable?

It's only the truth.

[natureprincess]

It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Olimar. Would I perhaps be able to ask you how much of botany you might have covered in your course at some point? ...I imagine the students might be bored if there was too much overlap...

...Your home planet?

That would be very kind of you. I would appreciate it quite a bit!

[natureprincess]

It is very nice to meet you, Rhys... In a sense. I do hope to meet my fellow faculty in person soon.

[snowypoison.livejournal.com]

...You like plants?

[skyhighballoons.livejournal.com]

It's a pleasure to meet you, miss Erika. My name is Balloon Fighter.

I'm affraid I don't where the greenhouse is however...

[natureprincess]

As long as the whole league doesn't show up, we probably won't seem like a new weed. ... It is nice to see you again, Matties. Have you been well? It's been quite some time since I've seen you in Vermillion.

[natureprincess]

Oh! Perhaps I should have been more clear, my apologies. It is a Pokemon gym for aspiring trainers.

[badasstrenches.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, I don't know about that. Lance was here a while ago. As long as he doesn't blab try to convince people to come here, I think we'll be fine. 'Sides, no one has complained yet!

How many times do I hafta tell you not to call me-- Yeah, I've been well. This place certainly keeps me busy. In a good way, though. How 'bout you?
