WELCOME to Oak Academy, a large academy located on an island off the coast of England, Elm Island. And while the weather isn't the most decent, and the school seems to be under a constant blanket of clouds, it's known world wide for it's brilliant students. These aren't your average students, either - no, the students that attend Oak Academy don't excel in Math or English classes, but rather, in pokemon training.
Only those with great promise are accepted into Oak Academy, and anyone who can't take the pressure is asked to leave immediately. Do you have what it takes to become the next pokemon master? Good luck ~!
ASHTON - your friendly creator and administrator. she's seventeen years old (turning eighteen!) and a senior in high school. she loves instant ramen and may or may not have a slight obsession with naruto. ashton is online every day, and is quite the avid staff member. her favorite pokemon are luxray, arcanine, and lucario.
CORAL - your average co-admin with nothing better to do than help ashton take over the world. she, too, is seveteen years old and a senior in high school. she's the smart one, and is a bit of a perfectionist in school. she's also the ditsy admin. she can sew, like, really well, and wants to be a fashion designer! her favorite pokemon are empoleon and quagsire.

THE DISCLAIMER
BEST WISHES is an original concept that belongs to ASHTON. The name, however, goes to the pokemon company, as the name of the new series. All graphics used in skins and layouts are found on ash's computer, so there's really no telling where they've come from or who they're made by. pokemon, of course, goes to the pokemon dudes (who have funky japanese names i can never remember). all posts, characters, and site concepts have been created by our members. steal and you die ♥
