Prologue
"The Start"

The sun was just starting to rise upon Parisa Academy. The warm, orange glow of the dawn began to flood the campus. Dancing its way across the ground, the light crawled up the bare, winter trees that decorated the grounds. Their shadows stretched across the ground blanketed in freshly fallen snow. Gradually the light grew larger and larger as the sun continued to rise; finally reaching above the trees and up to the windows of the buildings. Those that had their curtains open welcomed the natural light into their room.

However not everyone is a morning person and still some rooms had their curtains drawn. Nola's was one of those people. Her curtains were drawn tightly, refusing to allow even a drop of sunlight into her room. Too bad the curtains couldn't drown out her alarm clock's ringing as well as the sun.

BLEEP! BLEEP! BLEEP!

"Seriously?" the teen murmured into her pillow.

Questioning the point of having an alarm, the girl desperately tried to silence the deafening electronic. Without even lifting her face out of her pillow, she threw her hand around her nightstand trying to find the clock; sometimes even missing the nightstand altogether, to her dismay. All the while the alarm clock continued to go off like it was mocking her. Finally, after what felt like an eternity of never-ending noise to her, Nola managed to hit the clock and in turn the snooze button.

"Thank… You…" she sighed, relaxing back into her bed.

She was awake now, though not that she really wanted to be. That was one of the many problems with still being in school – having to wake up early. It was only a couple months into the term and Nola had already gotten tired of these early morning routines. She hadn't been late yet, but the thought had crossed her mind.

"Get up," she muttered to herself, pushing out the thoughts of being intentionally tardy just to be some more sleep.

Rolling out of bed, she avoided stepping on piles of clothes that were placed around her room. She was lucky to have gotten a single-room, especially when they usually only went to upper classmen. If gave her the amount of privacy she desired and allowed her to be her normal messy self.

Slowly she made her way over to the door of her room, grabbing her housecoat and toiletries along the way. Thankfully that morning she was lucky enough not to trip on any clothes – like she does almost every other morning. After weaving around piles and grabbing her stuff, she slid out of her room to get ready.

As she walked past the other rooms, she couled faintly make-out the sounds of the other girls in her dorm getting up and ready as well. She may have been a mess in the morning, but from the sounds of it, she wasn't alone in that boat at least.

At the end of the hallway were the showers, her destination. Thankfully she was the first one to get up that morning it appeared, meaning she would have the showers all to herself. She knew it was a common practice to share the showers in a boarding school, but she still preferred her privacy. She quickened her pace to get to the showers before anyone else could wake up, but stopped when she spotted something out of the corner of her eye. Through one of the few hall windows that looked out to the courtyard, she saw a couple students running about. What was weird about that was no one really liked to be outside that early in the mornings, not even teachers, because of how cold it was. However Nola could swear she saw three students running across the courtyard towards the back of the campus.

"Wonder where they're going?" Nola questioned aloud.

Shrugging, she continued her pace. However instead of walking towards her original destination, the showers, she had turned back to her room. Throwing on a coat, she slipped out of her dormitory unnoticed.

"Damn my curiosity," she cursed under her breath as she heading in the direction the students had took off in.

So I know I should be finishing up the stories I have started, but I have run a blank when it comes to writing for them. It has been so long – I blame the stress of life for pulling me away from them – that I just have writer's block for them. I plan on continuing them. Until then I would still like to write and this idea just came to me, so I decided to jump on it.

This story takes place in a small [fictional] town in Maryland. Parisa Academy appears to be your basic boarding school. However a group of students discover that this is a farce. Hidden in a forgotten shed at the back of the campus is a portal that transports them to a magical world known as the Poké-World. Humans do not exist there. Instead it is strictly inhabited by creatures called Pokémon. Upon arriving to the Poké-World, the teens are giving the power to transform between human and Pokémon/human hybrid referred to as a Gijinka, or Pokémorph. With this power they must fight the darkness that inhabits the Poké-World that wishes to control both the Poké-World and Earth. The story follows the group as they travel between worlds as they hop between fighting bad guys and living normal, teenage lives. They must balance stopping evil, school work, and their social lives, but that is easier said than done.

I'm currently not accepting any characters at the moment. Thank-you to all who have submitted. I will be announcing the cast list with the next update, which won't be for a little bit. I just got Pokemon Sun and have been playing it non-stop. On my way to work, after work, during my lunch breaks, when I'm supposed to be sleeping. When I start a game, I usually become addicted and play it for about a week straight. I want to focus when I'm writing and when I'm this hooked there is no focusing. I will be updating this story - do not fear - but just not right away.
