Right before I begin I begin I'd like to say that in this pokemon world you can have as many pokemon you want outside the pc, but obviously in a battle the maximum is six, this is just because I have so many favourite pokemon, so lets begin

Oh! And I don't own pokemon. Duh. And I know the names are kinda gay.

Kloud couldn't sleep, he never could the night before PE class, it was the best day of the week, but especially tomorrow, he had never looked forward to a Monday so much, his best friend James was finally returning from his holiday to Africa, he was sure to have some cool new pokemon to show him. Kloud rolled over dragging his fingers through his greasy, dirty-blonde hair, he looked around the dark room, all his pokemon slept in they're baskets, except four, Torterra (his first pokemon), Mamoswine, Gardevoir and Gallade. They were inside their pokeballs, too big to fit in the room, which was already cramped with all his pokemon. How many did he have? He began to count them, Treecko was asleep, handing from the ceiling inside a nest-like basket, Crobat was also hanging from the ceiling on a perch, alongside butter free. At the end of Kloud's bed was Glaceon, she purred softly in her sleep, her hairs glistening in the gentle moonlight which poured in through the window. Nestled against her was bulbasaur, he was my most recent catch, only a few weeks ago, I decided to take him to school with me, the rules at Lumen Christi in Derry were that only one pokemon under the height of one metre was allowed outside the pokeball during a school. This was except during PE of course were we battled, even so, the maximum occupied pokeballs allowed in school were four. Who else should I bring to battle with? My eyes caught Houndooms, he was regarding me gently with a warm smile on his face. He rose from his place under my desk, gingerly stepping over squirtle and charmander who lay against each other as he put his head on my lap. I stroked it gently, avoiding his horns, just then my Drifloon decended, lowering himself down to me, I patted him as well, he slowly rose back up again, I wasn't sure if ghost or dark types slept. Houndoom, curled up on the floor next to my bed and…maybe slept. I certainly did after a while.

I casually followed bulbasaur along the grounds of my school, he was young and eager, he sprinted ahead a few metres, then waited for me to catch up before sprinting ahead again. I didn't mind his over activeness, I enjoyed the walk into school as well, it was great seeing all the different pokemon, a small first year with a Torkoal was in front of me, bulbasaur ran ahead to meet it, but something caught his eye behind me and he scampered through my legs to reach it, I turned to see Niall Doherty, my friend since first year bending over to pat bulbasaur's small forehead, he looked up at me and nodded smiling slightly as I waited for him to catch up. He shook his mane of blonde hair as he walked in step with me.

"Right Dortz," I said as we strode past a boy and a girl, twins from our year, the boy held a minum in his hands, the girl a plusle.

"Who'd you bring for PE then, James is back today you know, he'll have some sick pokemon from Africa," Said Dortz with uncharacteristic enthusiasm, Niall loved his pokemon, he trained hard with them, but he was disinterested in much else.

"It'd be a nice change from Garchomp," I sighed, James was almost my opposite when it came to training pokemon, while I trained many pokemon at once, he trained a single pokemon, his Garchomp, "So who'd you bring?"

"Who else?" He said in his naturally deep voice, "Umbreon, Hitmonlee, Sandslash and Nidoking,"

"Nice, you decided to leave scyther at home then?" I nodded.

"Yeah," He shrugged, "So who'd you bring?"

I paused a moment aware that Niall would instantly be pleased with who I had brought.

"Bulbasaur, Elekid, Butterfree and Gallade," I answered solemnly.

"Ha!" He laughed, "You have a mountain of powerful pokemon to pick from, and you bring your weakest ones?"

"Hey! Butterfree's gotten a lot more powerful, and Gallade is one of my strongest, I just brought Bulbasaur and Elekid for some training."

"Bulba!" He yelled up at me angrily.

"I'm not saying you're weak!" I retorted instantly sensing his distain for the comment, "Or Elekid."

"I'll see you later midge!" Said Dortz as he moved away to his locker room, I hadn't even noticed us walk inside the disinfectant smelling school.

"Stop calling me midge," I growled, "I grew a lot over the holidays,"

"It wouldn't matter if you were fifty feet tall," He laughed, "We'd still call you midge, oh! And you're running late!"
