It was just another day in class. The teacher was giving some boring lecture about something way to boring for a lot of us, half of the class was dead asleep, many were on their phones, and then there was me... playing my Pokémon Y on my 3DS underneath the desk. Yeah nothing new. I'm Felix Maxis, a sophomore in a high school near Atlanta, Georgia, nothing out of the average Pokémon geek... not yet that is. So I was challenging the Battle Mansion again trying to get up to at least 50 win streak. Delphox was my strongest Pokémon; I would always send him out first. Then right as I got up to the 50th battle, my teacher caught me and took my 3DS up. I guess it was kind of my fault for having my 3DS out during lessons, but the others were on their phones! Anyway after a while the bell rung and I asked for my system back, she said sure but I could tell she was lying. You see I was born with this gift to tell when a person is lying; I am able to just tell in their voice where others can't here, so I just left the class quite pissed. However, soon after as I was heading to my anime club meet, I started having an itching sensation on my rear. It was a bit painful but I ignored it. I ran into my friends at the club who each had their 3DS. We were going to have a Pokémon tournament. I started to explain that the teacher had my 3DS, but I noticed my friend, Jack, had my 3DS. He said he took it while the teacher wasn't looking. Of course I gave him my thanks. We started our little tournament so fast we didn't even bother taking our backpacks off. Of course I was first to compete; however, I was feeling more pain in my rear as each minute passed. The pain was quite obvious because of my expression. Then all hell broke loose...

"Hey Felix... Are you OK?" asked Jack, which was who I competing against. He could tell I was in a lot of pain, "You seem to be in a lot of pain..." My other friends also noticed my expression and started to gather around me.

"Y-yeah... I'm fine...." I said, trying to keep the pain under control. As I did I noticed a bulge in the back of my pants, it felt furry and soft so I had a feeling this wasn't good. I felt a bit above around my rear and noticed I had there was something actually there, it wasn't my imagination!

"What is that!?" Exclaimed another one of my friends. As we were panicking I heard my pants start to tear a hole. A few seconds later we were all in silence after a large amount of gasps. A large yellow fox tail tore through my pants, leaving a hole and now. We all recognized the tail quite easily. It was that of a canine. They stopped panicking, but they seemed a bit more amazed then scared.

"Dude! You're an animal or something!" said Jack, "That is so awesome!!!!" OK, that was not the reaction I was expecting. I guess I was expecting a turn me into the government kind of reaction. Me on the other hand; I was quite scared. I started to question to myself what the hell did my ancestors do for this to happen to me. However, I had no way of preparing for what was going to happen next...

A few minutes later the teacher that took my 3DS came in. At first I thought I was screwed for taking my 3DS back, but it seemed as though I was in for more trouble than expected...

"You're one of them..." she said over and over again. She started walking towards me with the look of no emotion. My friends saw it too. She was after me for some reason and we all knew it probably wasn't a good reason.

"We got to get out of here now!" I shouted with my voice breaking in a bit of fear. My friends gathered around me and signaled for me to run with them. This was probably a stupid idea in normal circumstances, but this wasn't normal circumstances. We charged at the zombie-like teacher and got passed her by knocking her down. We continued to run till we got out of the school. I noticed a few other people started chasing us repeating the same thing the teacher was saying.

"Let’s lose them in the forest!" said Jack, who was to my left. We broke out of the group thing and started running for the forest. When we reached the forest and we stopped. I was actually drained of all my excitement and filled with fear. "You run Felix!" said he said, "We will handle them!"

I hesitated greatly, but then realized that it was the best option. I ran and did not stop. I didn't know where I was going or if I was ever going to see any of my friends alive again. After a while I was getting really tired and it was getting dark. I sat by a tree not knowing my location just knowing my feet were killing me. I traveled pretty deep in the forest. I just sat there and thought. I didn't want to be bothered by anyone. I just had to sit there and process all that just happened. Several thoughts ran through my confused thought process like: "Would I ever see my friends again?", "Would I even be able to show myself to my parents?" and "Why did this happen to me? Did I do something to deserve this?"

My stomach started to growl and I remembered I still had my bag! I opened my bag to find a few binders of work, math, science, English. I also found my IPhone, my 3DS, and thank god: my Lunch that I didn't have time to eat earlier. So I pulled out my lunch and started to eat. After that, I got up to head back to see if my friends were OK; however, a bush started rustling near me. I stepped back ready to run again but for some reason I couldn't run, I had to see what the heck was in the bush.

"Reveal yourself!" I shouted. After shouting that, I guess I started to see why that was a stupid idea. I waited for whatever that was in there to come out. When it did I was in shock to see what came out. It was a Goodra. I could not believe a living, breathing, dripping and talking, yes talking, Goodra was right in front of me.

"I'm so sorry to frighten you" said the Goodra as she walked up to me, the reason I could tell it was female was because her voice, "I did not expect to find another one of us nearby." She stood in front of me obviously taller than me. I examined her quite nervously still on my guard ready to flee. I stayed there just looking up at her.

"Who are you?" I asked, "What do you mean by another one of us?" I was so full of questions, mixed with fear, confusion, and a dash of excitement. I started to calm down and let my guard down a bit.

"To answer your first question, I am Felicia" she said calmly, "To answer the second question, you're going to have to follow me." She turned around and signaled me to follow. I decided to follow her because I had no better choice than to do so. We walked for what seemed endlessly, nothing but forest for miles. It was really quiet; it was like not a single soul could ever reach where we were going because they would probably give up after a while. After what seemed like hours we arrived into a clearing with a few rocks in it. "Just wait a bit" she said as she was pressing something on one of the rocks. Apparently whatever she did it created an opening in the tree. She told me to go in first, so I did as she said and she closed the opening behind us. We walked down a long flight set of stairs until I saw a bright light.

"Welcome to The Pokeumans Base of Atlanta!" she said in a very peppy tone. It was quite a sight; it was a large room with several statues of legendary Pokémon and murals of many Pokémon. There were other Pokémon sitting around talking. I was amazed, with the sight and the fact that there were other Pokémon.

"This is amazing..." I said with the bit of art geek in me. I just looked around as we made our way to a hallway. We then started walking towards a large room. Felicia knocked on the door. "We got a new student." She said in a now unexpected serious tone.

"Come In..." said a masculine voice. We both walked in. I saw a Dragonite sitting at a desk doing paper work. "So this is the Pokeuman that was wandering around?" He asked. Felicia nodded. "So your name?"

"F-Felix Maxis sir..." I said stuttering. The nervousness in me was rising. It was like he was staring through my soul. "Who are you? I asked, "What is a Pokeuman?"

"I am Headmaster Rilend," he said calmly, "A Pokeuman is basically a Human that has turned into a Pokémon. You remember someone coming after you when you got your first feature correct?"

I nodded. "She said something about me being one of them and then my friends protected me from her..." I said just remembering my friends, "I have to go back and help them! They could be hurt or worse!" I started trembling and panicking a bit.

"You can't go back now," said Rilend as he rose from the desk and walked towards me with his arms behind his back, "I have a history lesson for you, young Felix. Ages ago...  Pokémon did exist in this world. They were more advanced than the human race has ever been. Then after a long period of time the first humans became 'evolved.' As time went by humans grew more advanced and realized the power that Pokémon held. They began to abuse the power that they held for their own selfish reasons. Eventually Pokémon rebelled and war was brought about. The war was brutal and worse than any war that human could have comprehended. Eventually the Pokémon decided to leave this world and destroy any trace of their existence. However; Mew was left behind to make sure that they were never remembered. Mew has many forms but you know Mew as the creator of the Pokémon series. Now into the future, a very infamous former human known as Mr. X discovered a single hair of Mew. Being an expert in neurological and DNA experiments. He tried to create whatever he thought the hair was from. His cloning machine was very unstable since it was a prototype, and it caused a genetic reaction. The shock-wave reached all over the world, which triggered the creation of Pokeumans. Mr. X however turned into a Mewtwo and with that the memories of Pokémon returned to him. He saw this power just like the humans from before his time. He saw that humans were turning into the creatures he wanted to control.  He took these humans to have their DNA modified. They then took into normal human lives to search for Pokémon; this was the beginning of the Pokextinction. Lucky for us, Mew noticed and saved the kidnapped children; however, he could not reverse their memories back to normal. He decided to start the Pokeuman organization to stand against the evil of the Pokextinction. Today there is a war hidden from the humans. However, even ordinary humans could be hypnotized by the Pokextinction to capture Pokeumans to be made part of the Pokextinction. Also when a Pokeuman is found and taken from his/her home, The Pokextinction creates a clone to take your place so that no one knows that you have been taken or that you are gone. So that pretty much sums it up..." After he was done explaining all this to me I was quite in shock.

"So I can't go back into normal society?" I asked quite unnerved. A large part of me wished not believe what I was hearing, but according to my senses... It was all the truth.

He nodded. "However; you can live out your life here in your new home..." said Rilend, "It will take you a week to fully transform but you can still go to classes besides gym and battle class."

I looked up at him. "If there isn't anything else.... I would want to do that..." I said with the bit of shakiness in my voice. He handed me a room key, a map, and a schedule. I put the schedule in my pocket because I was too tired read it. I read the room key number, room 830. I started to walk out of the room and head for the dorms.

"Hey kid... Don't be upset, you'll make a lot of new friends. Trust me..." said Rilend as I was heading out. I looked back and all I could do was give a small smile. Honestly, I didn't know how I should have felt about the whole situation... As I walked to my room I was thinking about this, even knowing that it was the truth, for some reason I could not believe it. I could tell this was going to take a lot of getting used to and I had to be ready for anything that comes my way.
