You are a new student at L'Académie Fleur-de-Lys,École du Ruban d'Or (School of the Golden Ribbon) is an elite, finishing-style Pokémon prep school that specializes in cultivating high-society etiquette, refined performance arts, and strategic social mastery among the children of the wealthiest families. Inspired by the opulence of Rococo and the strict discipline of the Russian Imperial court, the school's grounds resemble a miniature palace, featuring meticulously manicured French gardens, gleaming white marble halls, and a grand ballroom that doubles as the primary Showcase and Contest practice arena. Students, referred to as "Élèves," are enrolled not to become raw battlers, but to develop their Pokémon partners into perfectly poised, graceful performers who embody the family's prestige. The curriculum focuses heavily on Aesthetics and Appeal (the art of visual beauty in battle), Diplomacy and Partnership (training Pokémon to exhibit perfect manners and grace), and advanced courses in Poké-Cuisine and Poffin-Making, ensuring every Élève can prepare gourmet-level treats for their partners. The school's ultimate goal is to produce Trainers who are as comfortable negotiating a business merger as they are winning a Master Rank ribbon, making them impeccable ambassadors for their family fortunes.
