After talking to Professor Semyonov, Calder was able to talk to Instructor Hwa about using GPS capabilities in the Pokedex. Instructor Hwa seemed slightly amused and ensured Calder she would work on it, but that it would take some time to implement the features.

Calder was also able to verify the identity of the stones he found from the Academy Store. They were indeed elemental stones.

After a few days of rest, during which time he was able to catch and train Pokemon, Calder began the Investigation Course. This course was led by Instructor Semyonov's brother, Instructor Dmitri Semyonov. During the first two weeks, Calder learned about socializing with other people to gather information, subtle interrogation techniques, researching, and cooperating with Pokemon to achieve goals such as tracking.

It was at this time, at the middle-point of the course, that Calder and the other students would be instructed to head toward one of the large battle arenas.

The students were gathered in a large room. There were enough chairs for all of the students, as well as for staff that did not look like normal instructors. Instead, they were wearing matching uniforms. Their shirts were in red, yellow, green, and blue. Like the students, they were also chattering amongst themselves.

Once everyone was present and seated, a man with long red hair and a black and white uniform that seemed to suit that of an elegant battle commander walks toward the front of the room.

"Greetings, everyone. I am Instructor Delacroix. I am here to oversee the Tactical Combat Competition. Unlike normal competitions, this competition will not happen all at once. Instead, you will all be engaging in Pokemon Battles throughout the academic year. You will have time to scout your opponents and prepare the best team to defeat your opponent. And, of course, your results will determine the grade you receive in this course."

"This competition will begin with a Round Robin format. Students will be divided into one of eight groupings, each containing a pool of 10 students. At the end of the Round Robin, the top two students from each grouping will advance to participate in a single-elimination tournament. The winner of this competition not only receives the highest grade in the course, but a special prize from me."

Instructor Delacroix then motions for all of the staff members to stand up and turn toward the students. "These individuals will be the judges for the battles. They will judge the battles impartially and their rulings are final. Any rules pertaining to the matches will be supplied to the participants well before the match begins."

"Are there any questions?"

After some days of rest and attending some classes, Calder excitedly headed to the battle arena wondering if there was going to be a Pokémon battle that they were going to watch. Seeing the chairs set up, Calder went to find a chair near the rest of his house seeming a little crestfallen but perking back up while Instructor Delacroix spoke of the year-long competition. He hadn't really done much battling against other trainers yet, but it was a great opportunity to get experience and if he did well, he would get a prize and higher grades. Then, almost as soon as the idea popped into his head of it helping him with better grades, Calder worried if he was knocked out early in the round robin that he would fail.

When Instructor Delacroix asked if there were any questions, Calder raised his hand and waited to be called. When called upon, Calder asked:

"Instructor, you mentioned that if we win we would get the highest grade in the course. What happens to the students who are knocked out of the competition early on? Would they fail the course?"

Instructor Delacroix calls on Calder and listens to the question. "Do not worry. Everyone will get at least nine matches in the Round Robin to prove their capabilities as a tactical trainer. So long as you attend each of your Round Robin matches and abide by the rules, you will not receive a failing grade."

"Now, I will announce the grading criteria and the groupings. You can find this information on the bulletin board later."

Once Group C was announced, Calder looked around to the other students to see if he could noticed anyone looking in his direction. He did noticed that he was the only student from House Espeon in Group C, which made him a little nervous but excited him at the same time. Hearing Callisto's name, Calder thinks back to the first day and their interaction in the nurse's office. Before his matches, he wanted to do some investigating on his competitors.

"This will be fun. Time for some additional training," says Calder quietly to himself. Then realizing he had another question rose his hand. If chosen he'll ask, "Will the matches be set at a certain time and place? Or will we need to find the person, challenge them, and then find a judge to start the match?"

"The matches will take place here, at one of the academy's battle arenas," says Instructor Delacroix. "The two individuals for each match must agree upon a time and day before the deadline. Judges will be designated and they will oversee and judge the match. Judges will be available here at the facility at all times, so there will be no excuse as to why you cannot complete your matches. Now, you may be wondering when the deadline for your first match is. The deadline for the first match is the day your Investigation course ends. You may complete your practicum before your match, but your match must be completed by the same day. Groups and pairings will be posted on the bulletin board for easy reference."

Calder nods while listening intently to Instructor Delacroix, there was still time until the Investigation course ended. While he continued listening to the Instructor, Calder's mind started to visualize his schedule and times for training and how he should configure his team. Remembering he was listening to the Instructor talking, he shook the thoughts out of his head and tried to focus.

"If there are no other questions, then you are all dismissed." The students and some of the staff leave, but Instructor Delacroix can be seen staying behind talking to some of the judges.

On the bulletin board, Calder's first opponent can be clearly seen. He will be facing Sara in the first round.

Once the list is up and class is released, Calder will start putting what he learned in the investigation class to use and started trying to research Sara. For this, he started off in the computer lab and looking her up in the school directory.

Unfortunately, Calder could not find a public version of the school database.

He did, however, find Sara's social media page. There are several photos of her training while in a boxing uniform or posing with fighting type Pokemon. More recently, there are photos of Sara with a Scraggy or Tyrogue. And she has a picture with her teammates for the Catching Course practical.

There is one short interview about Sara in the school newspaper. In the interview, they talk about Sara's love for boxing, her relationship with fighting Pokemon, and what she hopes to gain from being a Pokemon trainer.

Taking the time to look at Sara's Pokémon, Calder tried to formulate some strategies against the different fighting types he could see on her social media account. Out of his own Pokémon, he could field two or three that'd have a type advantage, but they didn't have particularly strong attacks that'd be useful in a Pokémon battle against Sara's fighting types.

"Hmm, I could go try and catch another Pokémon... Or, I can work with my current partners," Calder looks away from the newspaper and stares up at the ceiling (or sky if he's outside). Going over potential team combinations in his head, Calder sighs before standing and heading off to switch out some of his Pokémon to start some additional training.

Calder will switch out Spark and Ratatoskr for Serket and Neto.
