In Japanese schools, lunch is generally not eaten in a cafeteria; it's usually served in the classroom, with the actual food itself being distributed by the students of said classroom. One student might be put in charge of passing out trays, another student might be put in charge of ladling the stew into each bowl, one student might be in charge of passing out the eating utensils, etc. These roles are generally assigned on a rotating basis so that every student in the class eventually gets to perform each task.

7 Pages
Theme: The Pokémon are asked to come up with goals for the new school semester.

Hogator's Goal (ホゲータの目標)
Hogator's goal for the new semester is to go on a diet! But will going from eight sweets a day to seven really be enough to make a difference?
Kuwassu's Goal (クワッスの目標)
Kuwassu's goal is for everyone in the class to have hair as well coiffed as it has, though the other students aren't exactly thrilled about having to put wax on their heads.
Teacher Parmot (パーモット先生)
The class' teacher, Parmot, has a goal to stop forgetting things so much, though even this goal is quickly forgotten.
No Running in the Halls (ろうかを走らない)
Anokusa's "no running in the halls" goal is easy enough to follow -- rolling around isn't the same thing as "running," right?
Gakegani on the Wall (カベのガケガニ)
Gakegani also has a goal of not running in the hall -- running along the walls of the hall doesn't count, right?
Jiodumu's Salt (ジオヅムのしお)
Jiodumu helps Nyahoja stick to its "no running in the hall" goal by using its powerful stream of salt to push the Grass-Type along.
Orachifu's Goal (オラチフの目標)

Arukujira's Cold Receptions (さぶさぶアルクジラ)
Arukujira also joins in on the greet its classmates with tons of energy goal, putting its own punny twist on things.
Untitled Epilogue
Teacher Parmot makes one final, class-wide goal: let's make this classroom a bright and cheery place! Unfortunately, a few of the Electric-Type students take the "bright" part of this goal a bit too literally.
The new school year typically begins in April in Japan, which is probably what prompted the "new semester" theme of this series of comic strips.

Untitled Prologue
Parmot explains how they'll turn the schoolhouse into a haunted house, scaring Minive in the process.

The students who put on the haunted house want to use Orachifu's face to scare visitors, but for some reason it decides to dress up like a ghost instead...?

Theme: The Pokémon work on a school garden.
Untitled Prologue
Kuwassu uses a hoe to till the soil, inspiring Arukujira to deliver yet another one of its terrible puns.

Nakanuchan's quest for the perfect hammer leads to it swiping the metal blade off of Hogator's hoe!
Get Fired Up Carbou(もえろカルボウ)
Carbou vigorously digs up the soil, so much so that it even starts to break the bedrock below!

Otoshidori tries sowing seeds across the garden from high up in the sky, though its aim could use a bit of work.
Are Those Seeds...? (タネ…？)
Collecurei and Kanuchan believe they can get more of the things they love -- gold coins and hammers, respectively -- by planting their metal possessions in the school garden as if they were seeds.
Proud Orachifu (オラオラオラチフ)
Orachifu stares intently at a sprout that's popped up, stressing the poor baby plant out!
Watering the Plants (水やり)

Nokokocchi decides to help bring in the plants...to its underground lair!?
Arukujira's Cold Receptions (さぶさぶアルクジラ)
Arukujira wants to know if everyone's "see-d" what all they've accomplished, but it seems like nobody's really "digging" its puns.
Untitled Epilogue
