A 14 year old girl was asleep in her bed. She had long black hair and had a scar on her cheek. She was different from any teenage girl though. She had furry grey ears on her head.

A boy her age climbed through her open bedroom window and smirked. He had spiky purple hair and violet eyes and was wearing a black jacket over a purple shirt with black shorts. He had purple gloves on his hands. He walked over to the sleeping girl and shook her shoulders. "Hey, wake up."

The girl shifted in her sleep and swatted his hand away.

"Come on, Shadow. It's 9am..." The girl, Shadow, ignored him, still in a deep sleep.

The boy then smirked again and got a jug of water and poured it over Shadow's head.

She shot up and glared at him. "Duplico! The hell?" Shadow's eyes were strange. Her left was red while her right was violet.

Duplico chuckled. "Yay, you're awake now!"

Shadow glared at him then got out of bed, exposing a fluffy grey tail. "Why did you pour water all over me?"

"Because it's fun." Duplico grinned.

Shadow sighed. Shadow was no ordinary girl, she was a Poochyena gijinka.

Duplico, her best friend despite being almost the complete opposite, was a Ditto gijinka but could easily pass as a human as he didn't have any inhuman features like Shadow did.

"Shadow, remember, we are taking the plane to Anthro-Academy today!" Duplico said, fidgeting with a pendant with an amethyst gem before Shadow snatched it off him.

"I know! Thank goodness there will be no humans..." Shadow and Duplico both lived in a village in Hoenn inhabitted by purely gijinkas. There were no humans and it was the most safe place for Gijinkas. But today they were going to leave behind their home for the 3rd time in their lives and enroll in Anthro-Academy- a boarding school for only gijinkas.

"And hopefully we will get new friends! It's so lonely with only me, you,Riley and those two twins as the only kids in the village!" Duplico smiled. Riley was Shadow's cousin. Riley was a houndour gijinka.

"Yeah, Riley's also enrolling in the academy. And I'm not interested." Shadow mumbled. She was quite a reserved teenager and her family was barely together. She only really got along with Riley and Duplico.

Duplico, on the other hand, was very friendly and was on good terms with most under 30 people in the village; as long as they didn't work at a shop.

"Oh c'mon, Shadow. It'll be fun! More people to hang with! More people to prank!" Duplico was a bit of a prankster and also a bit of a kleptomanic. Everyday, a shop owner would find something stolen but then it was returned the next day. As long as it wasn't candy.

"Fine... Just get out and let me change! You shouldn't even be in my house at 9am!"

3 hours later they were at an airport with Shadow's mum, Duplico's dad and Riley, a purple haired boy with red eyes with houndour ears and tail along with his mother.

"Okay, good luck at the academy! Shadow, try get along with others, ok?" Shadow's mum said, hugging her daughter. Shadow nodded.

"Duplico, we better not get a phone call saying you've pranked a teacher!" Duplico's father said.

"Prank a teacher? You must be thinking of someone else!" Duplico said with a cheshire cat grin. His dad facepalmed.

"Okay, Riley, please refrain from beating anyone up because... You know..." Riley's mother said, ending her sentence like that to avoid angering Riley.

"I'll try, Mother..." Riley sighed, ears drooping. His mother sighed and gave Riley some candy, making him instantly cheer up.

"Ok! See you!" Shadow called, with a rare smile on her face as they got on a plane packed with other gijinkas of different types.

"See you, kids!" Her mother called back.

The plane doors shut shortly after and the plane took off.
