Theme: The Pokémon are asked to come up with goals for the new school semester.
Untitled Prologue
Nyahoja's goal is to use its "Sweet Scent" to make everyone relax...though the effect on Teacher Parmot seems to be a bit more than it had in mind.
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)
Orachifu decides to join the other students who have made "smile when we say hello" goal, though its "smile" could use a bit of work.
Get Fired Up! Carbou (もえろ！カルボウ)
Carbou's goal is to greet its classmates with tons of energy, but the amount of time it takes to pump itself up causes its greetings to come a bit too late.
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.

Theme: The Pokémon students hold a scare-a-thon
Untitled Prologue
Parmot explains how they'll turn the schoolhouse into a haunted house, scaring Minive in the process.
The Sound of Fear (きょうふの音)
Hogator's fear of a creepy gurgling noise goes away when it finds out it's just the sound of its rumbling stomach!
Jumpscare (とびあがる)
A jumpscare aimed at Mamebata causes the Pokémon to literally go through the roof.

Zupika Alarm (ズピカけいほう)
Nyahoja mistakes the eerily floating Zupika for a ghost.
Counting Steps (カウントダウン)
Zupika's desire to have this be a safe haunted house inspires it to pass out a map that includes where all the jumpscares are going to be, even going so far as to map out how many steps are in between each one!
The Proud Orachifu (おらおらオラチフ)
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...?
Moist Nonokurage (しっとりノノクラゲ)
A damp handkerchief on a fishing rod's used to scare visitors, though Pokémon like Nonokurage actually welcome the moisture provided.
Shining Surfugo (キラキラサーフゴー)
Surfugo uses its shiny coins to make various haunted house staples -- floating balls of fire, ghosts -- with mixed results.
Arukujira's (Kick the) Bucket (アルクジラのおばけ)

Untitled Epilogue
To reward the students for making it through the haunted house their teachers gives them the scariest thing of all: homework for summer vacation!

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!

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.
