A/N: Hello, this is my first fanfic, so please go easy on me. Let me get some disclaimers out; I Don't own Pokémon. As much as I want to, I don't. It belongs to Nintendo. Just a side note, if I use ' in a bit that looks like something someone is speaking, it means they are thinking it.

Alright lets begin! Don't forget to R&R it could really help!

Chapter One:

"Wake up James!" was the first thing James, a smallish, shiny Eevee, heard in the morning.

"Yeah, I'm up mom!" He called back in a drowsy voice. He slowly rose out of his bed "I really dont want to do this today..." He muttered as he got ready for his first day at his new high school.

When James came down the stairs, he was greeted by the friendly smile of his mother, an Espeon.

"Good morning dear! How did you sleep?" She asked as she set out a plate of eggs, toast and bacon, james smiled at the sight of this "Pretty good." he said as he sat down and started to eat.

"Thats nice. I hope you're ready for today." She said with the same big and bright smile she always has.

"Yeah, about as ready as I possibly can be." He said in a low and rather unimpressed tone.

"I know that the move was hard on you, leaving behind your friends and all. But I couldn't stay there, not when-"

"I know mom. Dad cheated on you, and you couldn't stand to be in the same town as him." he said interrupting his mother. 'After all, both of them knew he was married. Mary and Trish still went with him.'

He looked up at his mother "Even if what was said is true, about marrying them, you still had some good times with him." He said in a unconvincingly happy voice coupled with a forced smile.

The smile on his mother faded, "I'm sorry James, I really am." Said his mother, tears forming as she spoke.

"It's not you who should apologize Mom, its Dad." He said before looking at the clock, it read: 8:47.

"Ahh! I need to go!" He blurted as he got up and rushed to the door and opened it "See you after school Mom!" he said as he stumbled out of the door and rushed towards his new school.

She smiled again with tears rolling down her face, "I hope he'll be okay."

Upon arrival, James saw a few Pokémon walking to school looking kind of nervous. 'At least I'm not the only one.'

He ran right through the school gates and up to the door, where he stopped and contemplated how this would play out.

Several different events played through his mind before he took a deep breath and walked in.

The instant he opened the door he got a earfull of different conversations, identifying a few about a new student. Obviously this was James. he looked around the hall, seeing Pokémon he had never seen at his old school.

Thankfully he wasn't the only Eevee nor the only Eevee evolution. He saw some Sylveon Glaceon, Flareon, etcetera.

A little intimidated by the amount of students, James tucked his head down and started walking, peeking up to see if he was going the right way to his homeroom.

He soon found his homeroom which would be a math class "Finally! Homeroom!" he triumphantly boasted. He opened the door and rushed in only to be greeted with a rear end of a Pokémon which he couldn't identify at first.

He fell to the ground with a thud and winced. After a second of recovery he heard a voice say, "Sorry about that. I really shouldn't be standing in front of the door like this."

The voice sounded like that of a girl, followed by another female voice. "You need to watch yourself kid. But both you and Amanda are at fault you know."

He looked up to see a Umbreon standing over him with a Glaceon behind her "Oh, umm sorry there. Ummm" The words seemed to just stumble out of him mouth, leading to the Umbreon and Glaceon to giggle.

It's ok, I'm Amanda. And that nifty Glaceon is Esmeralda" Amanda said.

"Who might you be?" They both asked at the same time. "I-I'm James, James Thames" he said with in nervous voice.

'This is the last thing I wanted, having to talk to someone on the first day!' He climbed to his paws and put on a nervous smile "Nice to meet you two!" He said as cheerful as he could.

"Likewise James" said Esmeralda, "Hey you weren't here yesterday, were you sick or something James?' said Amanda.

This question had caught James by surprise. "No, I, umm, you see..." the words just kept stopping and stumbling till he straightened up a little.

"No, I wasn't sick, I wasn't here because I had just finished moving into my house yester..."

He didn't even get to finish when Amanda interrupted him "Oh, you the new kid that's been all the hype since yesterday! Well It's nice to meet you!" James looked at the Umbreon with confusion.

"What Amanda means is that yesterday someone heard that a new kid was joining us, even though it's only the second day now. And for some reason, people think just because you didn't show up on the first day, you were going to show up a few weeks after school had started."

He turned his attention to Esmeralda as she spoke and figured that someone would think he was a reclusive hermit.

"Well surprise, I'm here!" he said in a sarcastic voice.

"Yes, now if you'd like you can sit and wait for class to begin." James looked past the two girls to see who had spoken.

The Pokémon was a Zoroark standing behind the teacher's desk. "Mr. Ark by the way, and welcome you three." He said, placing a few papers on his desk.

The three of them looked at each other before taking seats at the front with James in between the two girls, now all that was left was to wait for class to start.
