Hey guys! Sorry for the weird uploading patterns. I'm sure you wanted Blue Rain or my Hunger Games story, but instead you're getting Agencyshipping! I'm honestly surprised I haven't posted anything Pokemon related yet! It is practically my life!

I had started reading a Pokemon AU about music, and I really enjoyed it, but they hadn't finished, so it inspired me to make my own! This will have musical references, and the main storyline is about music, but it is a high school fic as well, so it will be modernized.

Also, the main ship is Agencyshipping, but some Mangaquest, Frantic, and Laverre will be present!

So here you have it! A Pokemon, Agencyshipping, High School, Music AU!

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it!

Our Song~Agencyshipping

Chapter 1: Festivals and Embarrassing Stories

The day started off like crap.

"-ack! -ke u-!"

I was disturbed upon hearing a faint, distant sound.

"B-ack! Wa- up!"

I rolled over and pulled the covers on my bed over my head to drown out the now slightly louder sound.

"Black! Wake up! You don't want to be late!"

The sound that had pulled me out of my happiness became clear; my mom's voice.

I groaned and flipped onto my stomach, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes while calling down to her that I was awake.

Before I got up, I closed my eyes for another minute, not eager to start the day.

Rolling out of bed, literally, I crawled over to my dresser and pulled on a pair of pants and a sweatshirt. Then, I made my way downstairs and too the kitchen. As I poured a bowl of cereal, my mom came out from around the corner.

"Black? I thought you'd have left by now, you better hurry up!"

I glanced at the clock on the stove in my kitchen. My eyes widened.

6:30

Crap!

I must have been laying with my eyes closed longer than a minute...

I shoveled my cereal in my mouth, no doubt spilling about half of it, threw a sandwich in my pocket for lunch, and ran out the door, waving "goodbye" over my shoulder to my mom.

I had missed my bus, it came around 6:15, which meant I had to walk. My high school started at 6:45, and it took at least 20 minutes to get there from my house.

I ran down the sidewalk to school, narrowly dodging cars as I had crossed a street into oncoming traffic.

One of the cars I had ran in front of which caused them to stop short, gave me the finger then purposely drove in a mud puddle next to me.

"Jerk," I muttered under my breath. I continued to run through the street, but suddenly a Hertier was blocking my way, snarling at me.

"Hey, hey! Go away, I'm busy!" I tried to shoo it away, but it only growled louder.

Before I knew it, the dog was chasing me down the street.

On the bright side, it forced me to run as fast as I could to school!

As I turned the last corner, I realized all it wanted was my sandwich in my pocket, so I threw it at the Hertier and proceeded into the main office to sign in late.

{~}{~}{~}{~}{~}

I regretted not cleaning myself up before walking into 1st Period.

When I stumbled into science class covered in muddy water, cereal, and sweat, I was mortified. My friend Gold was laughing his head off, which of course made everyone else crack up. My teacher couldn't even contain himself!

"B-Black," he said in between stifling laughter, "Why are you so late?"

I looked down to hide the embarrassment on my cheeks. "I missed the bus..." I said, handing him the note I received from the office.

"How about you go to the restroom, Black," my teacher said as he wrote me a pass.

I practically died of embarrassment.

After running quickly out of the classroom to the bathroom, I wiped off most of the mud and cereal. I then hurried back to class, only to realize someone was there.

How could I have forgotten she was there?

I slid into my seat, luckily in the back of the class, and behind her.

She was mysterious, and beautiful. I knew everything about her, anytime she spoke, I remembered everything she said. I loved her chocolate brown hair, how I wanted to run my hands in it! I loved her quiet personality, she was always reading. That's what she was doing right now, in fact. I always wondered what she spent so much of her time reading. Her hair fell in front of her face because she was looking down.

I rested my head in my hand and just watched her, turning pages after pages. I could see her beautiful sea blue eyes darting up and down each page. She could afford to read during class, she was the smartest student here. I'm even surprised I got into her honors biology class!

And I had been so careless and stupid to walk into class looking like an idiot!

Before I knew it, class was being dismissed. I ran out of the classroom, and Gold ran after me.

"Wow, Black! What happened to you? You looked like you were chased by a pack of Mightyena, then you jumped in a dumpster!" Gold said, laughing hysterically again.

I looked around, and noticed she was nearby. "Gold! Shhhhh!" I protested. "I'll tell ya later! Besides, I got to get to 2nd Period!"

Gold rolled his eyes. "Fine! But make sure you tell me! See ya in Free!"

I ran away from him and as fast as I could to the opposite end of the hallway. Then, when I was sure he was gone, I turned back around and went down the hallway he had. I turned left into the music wing of the school.

2nd Period was one of my favorite classes: Band.

I walked into the cubby room, where everyone stored their instruments, and took out my saxophone. While I was attaching the neck strap on, my friend X walked in.

"Hey Black!" he said, walking over to his cubby and taking out his trumpet.

"Hi X," I nodded at him. I looked around curiously, noticing someone was missing. "Where's Ruby?" I asked him.

X and Ruby were my first friends in band. When I had first joined about three years ago, they were the first people I spoke to, and now we were a little squad. Ruby was really cool, he was funny and outgoing. He played the clarinet. He was also into art and fashion, which was a bit different for a guy, but he embraced it, and I liked that about him. He always made everyone fit it. X was kinda shy, but he was really cool once you got to know him. He was really smart, and he took a lot of honors and engineering classes, but he was a lot of fun. Though we goofed around a lot in class, we were surprisingly good at playing our instruments! Usually Ruby was here first, ushering us to hurry up, but now he was no where in sight.

"Huh," X said, quizzically. "I hadn't noticed he wasn't here!"

As if on cue, Ruby rushed in, covered in paint. He was panting as he got over to his clarinet case and took out the woodwind instrument. "Hey guys," he said in between breaths. "Sorry-I got-held up-in art. Ran-all the way-here."

I put my mouth piece on, "It's fine Ruby! I only just got here!"

"Oh good! By the way, how much time do we have?" Ruby asked.

X looked at his watch, "About 17 seconds."

We looked at him, then all at once, our eyes widened.

"Holy shitocki mushrooms! We better hurry quick!" Ruby exclaimed.

I laughed at his choice of vocabulary as the three of us ran out of the cubby room and down the Band Hallway to the Band Room. We scooted in the doors and threw ourselves into our seats right as the late bell rang.

Professor Juniper walked up to the podium in front of the band, where she would conduct us from. "Looks like you barely made it in!" she said to Ruby, X and I. I looked back at X and laughed. Since X played trumpet, he sat in the fourth row directly behind me. Ruby sat in the second row with the rest of the clarinets, though he sat on the end of his row since he was 1st Chair.

"Well, as you know, APMF is in a few months, so if you plan on preparing a solo, get an original copy now and start practicing! A few months isn't long, and you don't want to have to resign because you didn't practice enough!" Professor Juniper explained.

APMF, or Annual Pokemon Musical Festival, is an event which occurs every year, in June. Musicians from all over the area can play their prepared solo as well as a series of scales and a sight reading sheet in front of a judge to get feedback on how well they played. APMF participants can also play a duet with someone of a different instrument, though it's not mandatory. Most people preformed a duet for extra points or a better looking score record. They also have professional bands come and play as well as instrument sales. It's a fun day for anyone who plays any instrument to come to and have fun, even if you don't play a solo or duet.

There were different levels of APMF solos as well, with Level 1 being the lowest and Level 6 the highest. The better APMF score you get, out of 100, will result in a high chance of you getting into a high ranking band, like All County, which consists of the best players in the county, or the best, All Region, the best players in the region.

I know X was doing APMF this year, I wasn't sure about Ruby, and I was still debating it myself.

During the rest of band class, we just practiced our songs for our upcoming concert. Before I could leave for the cubby room when class ended, though, Professor Juniper pulled me aside. Ruby and X just went ahead to the cubby room without me.

"Black, can I talk to you for a minute," she had said.

"Okay," I shrugged.

"You're one of, if not, my best saxophone player I have in this band, and I think you should do APMF this year."

My eyes widened. I was her best sax player? And she wanted me to do APMF! The compliment quickly wore off as realization sunk in. She wanted me to do APMF!

"Now, before you start to protest, hear me out!" she said. "You know a lot of your scales, you can play fast, and you have a very good tone. You have enough potential for probably a Level 6, but if you want, you could do a Level 5 instead."

I thought about her offer. Maybe a Level 5 wouldn't be so bad. Since it would be my first time participating, I wouldn't want to do the hardest Level possible! Plus, it might be a hard challenge.

I nodded my head, "Yeah! I'll do it!"

Professor Juniper smiled. "Okay! I found a really nice, not too hard, not too easy Level 5 piece, Sonata Number 3. I think you'll like it. Come by my office at the end of the day and pick it up."

"Okay, thanks Professor!" I smiled and left the room.

She wanted me to do APMF!

{~}{~}{~}{~}{~}

It was finally 4th Period, the best period: Free Period. During Free, we got to go and do anything we wanted. You could leave the school, get food, take a nap, go to the library, or go to the most famous spot, the lounge.

Everyone in 11th grade, my grade, went to the lounge since most of us didn't have cars or our license yet. It was always crowded, and it was exactly where I was headed.

People were already there when I arrived. It was an area in a big room in the middle of the school. Couches lined the walls, there were TVs hung on the walls and tables with magazines on them in the middle of the room. Students were sitting, chatting with each other, watching TV, doing work, you name it.

As I ran in, Gold was already sitting in our usual spot. Good thing he got here early or we probably would have lost it to someone else. In the lounge, it was always first come-first serve, and I always ran from the opposite side of the school. Luckily Gold had a class two rooms away from here so he was always saving us a seat. Without him, we wouldn't be able to get a good seat.

"Black! What takes you so long everyday!?" Gold complained. "I was sitting here forever!"

I sighed in exasperation. "Just because you have Geometry two doors down doesn't mean everyone does! I have to run down from History everyday!" I countered.

Gold mumbled something about History class not being that far away, but I just ignored him. Suddenly his eyes lit up and turned towards me again.

He wiggled his eyebrows at me.

Oh no.

"So Black, what happened this morning!" he asked me, grinning.

I rolled my eyes. Sometimes I swore Gold was a girl. He loved drama and getting into other people's business. It was almost funny.

I told him the story about why I had been late to school this morning. Be the end, he was laughing hysterically again.

"I can't believe you got attacked by a Hertier!" he laughed.

"Hey! I didn't get attacked! It just chased me down the street!"

Gold laughed even harder. "You were scared by a little Hertier!"

I rolled my eyes again, "I wasn't scared, you idiot! See, this is why I don't tell you things!"

Suddenly I noticed two people. Well, I specifically noticed one, and the other just happened to be there too.

Oh, did I forget to mention, she also had Free Period during 4th Period?

She was standing with her best friend, Crystal. They were on the other end of The Lounge in front of a bookshelf. They seemed to be picking out some thick books of some sort.

I didn't realize I was staring at her until I noticed Gold was talking to me.

"Sorry what?" I said, still kind of in a dream.

Gold laughed at me, "I said, 'you are one lovesick puppy aren't you?"

I stared at him. "Lovesick puppy?" I said, making air-quotes around it. "What kind of expression is that?"

Gold shrugged, "I don't know, that's not the point. Come on! You've been in love with White since, like, what? 4th Grade?"

"Hey! First of all, I don't love White. Second of all, I've liked her since 3rd Grade." I realized that wasn't very good defense as soon as the words came out of my mouth.

Gold laughed at me for probably the billionth time today. "Okay, that's even worse! You haven't even talked to her! You literally just stare at her every time you see her! You can't like someone as much as you like White and you haven't even spoken one word to her except an occasional 'hi'!"

Gold did have a point. I always had wanted to talk to her. Maybe today would be the day!

Gold smiled devilishly "I'll help you!" he said, and before I could stop him he was already over talking to Crystal and White.

Soon, he, Crystal, and White were making their way over to me. That's when it finally sunk in. That White was coming over to me.

I scowled at Gold, smiled at Crystal, and waved lightly at White. Usually I spent hours of the day looking at her, but for some reason I couldn't right now. I started to sweat and was beginning to feel sick when Gold started talking.

"Hey White, Crys! Wanna know why Black came into Biology class late?" Gold asked them, then smirked at me.

My eyes widened as I started to wave my hands, motioning for him not to tell.

Of course, he didn't listen.

I put my face in my hands to hide my blush as Gold told them the story.

"And then, he was chased by a Hertier all the way here!" Gold finished, laughing in hysterics once again.

Crystal's face was red from trying to hide her laugher, and White had a hand over her mouth, probably to cover up the fact that she was smiling, but I could still tell she was. I could see it in her eyes.

Crystal went over to talk to Gold about something, leaving White and I by ourselves.

"Oh my gosh, Black! I'm so sorry!" she said, still covering her mouth.

I looked at the floor and kicked my feet around, "Yeah, well, it could happen to anyone." I shrugged, blushing again, "It's okay if you laugh, I guess it was pretty funny..." I said, half-heartedly laughing.

She smiled, then put her hands in her sweatshirt pockets. "Are you okay?"

My blush deepened and I scratched the back of my head. "Yeah, it's all good!" I reassured her with an even bigger smile.

Crystal and Gold came back, and White suggested they go, something about finishing a math project? But they both waved goodbye, and soon I was once again just an admirer, smiling to myself as I watched White walk away.

My happiness slowly faded as I remembered who was standing next to me, and what he had done.

I turned to Gold, scowling. "Gold! What the hell!? Why did you tell her!"

Gold held up his hands, "Hey hey hey! That wasn't so bad! You got her to laugh!"

I glared blankly at him, blinking a few times. "At me! She was laughing at ME! How is that good!?" I asked him.

Sometimes I seriously questioned why I was even friends with Gold. He caused so much unnecessary crap with me all the time, probably just to piss me off, and it worked. He always embarrassed me, or teased me, and sometimes I would wonder if he even liked me. Then, I would sometimes wonder if he was unintentionally acting that way, maybe it was his personality? Honestly, I had known Gold for so long, you would think I would know this stuff. But with Gold, you never knew anything. At the end, though, I would think, and I would realize that he always had the best intention in his mind. Because honestly, without Gold, I would have never spoken to White at all, and would have just kept staring at her like some creepy stalker.

"Well, at least you got to talk to her! You know you never would have without my help!" He smirked, it's like he had just read my mind.

I couldn't help but smile. After all, he was my best friend. Sometimes you couldn't choose who your best friends would end up being. Even if they were girl obsessed, pissing you off, crazy kids like Gold. "Yeah, you're right."

The rest of Free Period I kept nagging Gold about how he liked Crystal, because come on! It was obvious he did. Plus, the "crush spotlight" had been on me far too long.

Lunch was right after Free, so I did all my homework then. After Lunch was English, in which something very unexpected happened to me once again.

Hey! Hope you enjoyed it!

My writing style was different from usual, I normally wouldn't have had broken off paragraphs about a character's view on the subject, if that makes any sense. I would normally have just written a short sentence or two about their feelings. I liked writing like this though!

So for the APMF, I based it off of the NYSSMA Festival in New York, where I live. As for the choice of instrument, I really like the saxophone, and I can imagine Black playing it easily. Plus the fact that I had been listening to the Coumarine City theme the whole time writing it!

I really hope you enjoyed it though! I had so much fun writing Chapter 1 and am going to get started immediately on Chapter 2!

Also, heads up, more dexholders will be present in future chapters, though the ones I mentioned in this chapter will be the main characters, especially Black and White!

Thanks so much!
