Hey guys. SerenityFaithful with a new story. This is a story about a girl named Ericka who finds herself in a school of humans/pokemon. This story was inspired by pokemonmaniac3595's Pokehumans series on deviantart. I recommend you check it out.

Now, enjoy this first chapter!

My name is Ericka. I'm 15 years old, and I'm a gaming addict. I play Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokemon, Splatoon, etc. I'm almost always playing a video game, unless I am hanging out with my friends and family. However, little did I know my life would take an unexpected turn.

I find myself waking up on a warm summer day from a good night's rest. I walk over to the door, half awake, and open it to find my mom walking in the hall. "Morning, Ericka. Are you enjoying summer break so far?" My mom asked. The first day of summer break was always a relief from the stress they call school. No more text books for two months. "I'm enjoying it alright." I said to her.

I got my clothes together and took a shower and headed downstairs for some breakfast. I grab a box of cereal from the cupboard and poured a bowl of cereal and sat down to eat.

Not long after I start eating, I get a text on my phone. It was from my friend Josh. "Hey Ericka. Ready to kick off summer? I'm inviting everyone to a night at my house tonight. Can you come?" He asked. I picked up my phone and wrote back to him. "Sure. Sounds like fun. I'll be there tonight. I'm sure my mom won't mind." I replied. He texted back, "Great. See you tonight. Come over at around three. I'm planning a gaming party." I text him back again, "Definitely there." I said.

I head over to my friend Josh's house at about three. I showed up at around three fifteen.

I walk towards the door and a tall pretty lady opened the door. "Oh hey Ericka. Did Josh invite you?" It was his sister, Maddie. "You bet." I said. "Come on in. He and the others are upstairs. "Thanks." I replied.

I walk into his room, or his "den" as he liked to call it, and I found my three friends there: Josh, a tal boy with reddish-brown spikey hair, Maria, a cool girl with long blonde hair, and Max, a sort of chubby-looking kid with black messy hair.

"Hey Ericka!" Maria smiled. "Hey guys." I said as i looked on the tv. They were playing Super Smash Bros. Wii U. Josh was playing as a fighter called Lucario. A blue Egyptian-looking creature that they called a pokemon. Max was playing as a fighter named King Dedede, a blue penguin king that looked jolly as can be. Maria was sitting on the bed watching them play. I joined her on the bed. "Go Lucario!" I said. "Go Dedede!" Maria said. She and I giggled. "We can hear you back there!" Josh said jokingly without turning his head from the screen.

I had my chance to play, I played as a fighter called Sonic the Hedgehog, a blue speed demon who rolls around at the speed of sound. Maria joined me and she played as a fighter called Zero Suit Samus, a woman fighter in a blue jumpsuit. We played against each other, until Josh got a text message. "Guys, I'm gonna be right back..." He said with a weird look on his face. "Alright." Max said as he focused his attention on the tv screen. Msria and I looked at each other with somewhat worried looks on our faces. "You think he's ok?" I asked. "Eh, I'm sure everything's fine." She said as she picked up her controller again and selected a fighter to play against Max.

We played the game for almost an hour, but still no sign of Josh. I began to worry about him. "Where is Josh?" I asked. Maria and Max paused the game. They looked around. "I'm not sure." They both said. I got up off the bed. "I'm gonna look around for him." I said. Maria and Max looked a little worried now that we've realized he's been gone a long time.

"Josh?" I looked around. I found his mom. "Hey Mrs. Smith, have you seen Josh around?" i asked. "Last I knew he was in his room with all of you. Did he go somewhere?" She asked. "No. He left to do something. I'm not sure what." I replied.

I continued to look around the house, calling Josh's name. "Josh!" I called. I then heard faint whispering coming from a nearby room. I put my ear up to the wall., and I hear, "So you're supposed to go tonight?" I heard Maddie say. "That's what Mrs. Cresslestia said. I spoke with her. Everyone I invited is involved." Josh said. "What are the odds? I know that anyone could be part of this group, but never would I think that it would end up being them." Maddie said. The I hear Josh panic a little. "Oh no, have I really been gone for an hour? I have to check on the gang." He said. "Right. But bring it on subtlety." Maddie said. "Right." Josh replied.

I hurriedly ran into the other room to avoid looking as if I was eavesdropping. I turned around when I heard the door open. "There you are." I said. Josh looked almost afraid that I was there in that room, probably because of what they were talking about. "Hey...what are you doing down here?" He asked. "i was looking for you. You didn't come back for an hour." I said. "Oh. Sorry about that. Lets head back up." He said leading the way.

We headed up to his room and Maria and Max looked at us. "Where have you been, Josh?" Maria asked. "Eh, just talking with a friend of mine. She's been in a new school and told me about it." Josh said. ...I know he was talking about us...but what did he mean when we're supposed to go tonight? I pondered. "Yaawn...It's getting late. Shouldn't we head to bed?" Josh said as he faked a yawn. Even if it was fake, it made Maria yawn as well. "Yeah...I could use some sleep." Maria said. "Me too." Max said. "Sure..." I said a little sarcastically.

Everyone brought out their sleeping bags and some pillows, and we went right to sleep. I, however, didn't get to sleep easily. I was trying to stay awake, because I wanted to see what Josh was up to.

I laid there for about an hour just thinking about stuff, then I hear Josh get up. I close my eyes to look like I'm asleep. Then, I hear him open the door and knock on his sister's room. I hear him whisper something, but I couldn't tell what he said. Then, his sister walks in the room. I hear her whisper, "...This is your idea of subtle?" She asked. "...Yeah. I told Mrs. Cresslestia my plan and she was ok with it." Suddenly, I peek and see Max, who was dead asleep, being picked up by Maddie and Josh. "...Lets make this quick." She said. They then carried him out the door. I'm not sure what to do at this point. What was my best friend doing with us? I thought. I then felt myself slipping away into sleep. ...No...must...stay...awa...ke...

I woke up on the floor of some sort of office. "Josh, I know you had to bring them here, but this is a bit extreme." I heard a woman say. "I aim to please." Josh replied. "Pleasing by taking your friends hostage?" She joked. I then looked around. I didn't know if they knew I was awake. Suddenly I hear: "Well well, I see someone's awake." The woman spoke. Only, this "woman" wasn't a human...she was a pokemon! A pokemon called Cresselia. "Wh-Whaa..." I siad speechless. I froze in my spot right there and then.

Josh looked at me as I stood up. "Who are you? What is this place?" I finally asked. The pokemon spoke. "My name is Mrs. Cresslestia. Pleasure to meet you." She smiled. "Wait...what?" I asked. I was having trouble processing what was going on. A living pokemon in front of me, and the fact my best friend just took me hostage. "This place is Pokehuman high. A place for pokemon students." She said. "Wait...what does this have to do with me?" I asked. Josh got up from his chair. "Let me demonstrate what a Pokehuman is..." He said. He pulled a bracelet that was hidden under his sleeve and twisted it, activating something. He then glowed a bright blue and started to transform. "Rrrah..." He grunted as he completed his transformation. He transformed himself into a tall canine-like creature named Lucario. "What the..." I said. "Pretty cool right? This bracelet here makes me able to transform." He said. Looking at him as a lucario felt weird to me. The fact my best friend can transform into a lucario is a lot to take in... I then looked back at Mrs. Creslestia. "Your friend Josh has told me so much about you, Ericka. He told me you're a big pokemon fan." She said. "Y-Yes I am...but why was I brought here?" I asked. "Well, you and your friends were chosen to join our school. Our school takes talented humans and gives them the ability to transform into a pokemon." She explained. "Wait...talented? I'm not talented..." I said. "..." I didn't know what to do. If this was Josh's idea of subtle...then I'd hate to see him be upfront... "Ericka, this school is to train strong pokehumans. Would you be interested in joining?" She asked. ...I still haven't been told much about this place...why I'm here...this is so overwhelming... "Well..." I looked over at Josh. His lucario form showed more emotion than when he as human. He seemed to have wanted me to join. At this point, I wasn't sure if I could trust him fully (after pretty much capturing me), but I made up my mind. "Hmm...Sure. I'll join if I'm needed." I said.

"Alright. Let me explain one thing first. You can't let anyone outside of the school know about this. Not even your parents." Mrs. Cresslestia said. "Wait, then how will I attend this school?" I asked. "When you go back home, tell your mom that you're gonna go to summer camp with me." Josh said. I then looked around. Where are Maria and Max? I asked. "Well, we already explained things to them. Once they said yes, they returned to my house so we could keep up our cover." Josh said. "Alright..." I said. "We'll admit you into the school later. But for now, let your mom know you're going to camp before you arrive." Mrs. Cresslestia said. "Alright." I replied.

Josh returned to his human form and we got back to his house before anyone could suspect we had left, and everyone slept the rest of the night. In the morning, I had texted my mom at breafast that Josh, Maria, Max, and I were going to summer camp. She replied: "Alright, honey. Where are you going?" She asked. I texted back saying: "Oh, just some place Josh told us about. I forgot the namr" "Ok, have a fun time! I'll miss you!" My mom said.

Josh then led me, Maria, and Max, to a secret tunnel hidden under his very own house. There was a gap under his house and we had to crawl under the house, and we barely fit, but we made it in the secret tunnel. In the tunnel, there was a lot more room for us to walk. Josh had then transformed into his lucario form again. "So Josh, what is it like to be a pokemon?" Maria asked. "Oh it's really cool. As a lucario, I feel aura energy flowing throughout my body. The energy and power makes me feel stronger than I was before." He said passionately. "You'll of course find out soon when you get your pokemon powers." He ssaid. "How does that work? How come you can transofrm into only lucario, instead of like, a charmander or pikachu, or whatever?" I asked. "Well...I'm not too sure. I never exactly chose what I would become, but Mrs. Cresslestia said it had something to do with my personality and my spirit." Josh said. "So what does that say about you since you're a lucario?" I asked. "I'm not entirely sure. It seems to fit me though." Josh replied.

We arrived at the end of a tunnel, and inside looked like a high school. "This is the place." Josh said. He led us to a room and on the door it read "TF lab" "This is where you get your transformations. Lets go on in." Josh said.

"Josh, is that you?" A yellow creature with a spoon and a mustache walked up to us. "Yes it is, Mr. Lahni. It's good to see you." Josh said as they shook paws. "Nonsense. The pleasure is mine" The Kadabra smiled. He looked at the three of us. "Aha, so we have some new Pokehumans joining us?" He asked. "Yes sir. These are my friends, Ericka, Maria, and Max." Josh introduced. "Pleasure to meet all of you. Now, who will be going first?" Mr. Lahni asked. All of us looked at each other. It seemed like we were all a little unsure about wanting to go first. "Ladies first..." Max said. "Alright...I'll go then." Maria said. "Ok, miss Maria, please step on that circle over there, and you'll receive your pokemon transformation. Maria walked over to the circle and four glowing beams hit her. She didn't feel pain, however. The machine looked like it was scanning her. Then, a pink high-tech bracelet appeared in front of her and it was glowing pink. "Put on this bracelet, and twist it to unleash your transformation." Mr. Lahni instructed. "A-Alright..." Maria said nervously. She put the bracelet on her right wrist and twisted it, and suddenly, a pink glow surrounded her. She shrunk to about the size of a somewhat big cat, almost like a dog. "What the..." She was a pink cat pokemon with a long thin tail that split into two ends and she had pink whiskers and a red gem on the middle of her forehead. "Awesome, Maria. You've become an Espeon!" Josh said excitedly. Maria looked at her new form. "This is kind of weird..." She said at first, "But I kind of like it too." She smiled.
"Can I go next?" Max asked me. "Sure, go ahead." I replied. "Thanks." Max said. "Alright Max, I think you know what to do." Max nodded and walked up to the circle. Maria joined us by the entrance. "Ok..." Max said a little nervously. The glowing beams scanned Max, and a glowing yellow bracelet appeared. Max put it on and twisted it to activate the transformation. "Wha..." Max glowed a bright yellow and shrunk a little in size. A little bit taller than Maria. He became an orange rat with a big white belly and a long black tail with a thunderbolt at the end of it. He also grew larger brown and yellow ears. "a raichu. veRY nice!" Mr. Lahni said. "This is cool. Although the tail feels kind of weird." Max said. "Yeah, you get used to it after awhile." josh replied.

Finally, it was my turn. "M-My turn..." I felt weird walking up to the circle. My footsteps felt heavier and heavier the more I walked. I finally got up to the circle and turned around. "Ready..." i said nervously. The four beams came at me and scanned me. Then, a red bracelet appeared in front of me. "Let's see your transformation, Ericka!" Josh said excitedly. I swallowed my nervousness and activated my transformation. "Woah..." I said. I was glowing red as I transformed. My hands became white paws and my shirt became almost like a yellow and white blouse, only it was my fur. My jeans then became black fur, and my legs turned into paws. A yellow and red fluffy tail grew from my behind and a stick was in the tail. I felt my ears move to the top of my head and became pointed and yellow. Then, red fur grew from the inside of my ears. Then, my nose and mouth extended a bit from my face and white fur formed on my face and my nose because round and red. finally, I felt my eyes become slightly bigger and white whiskers grew from my cheeks. "Awesome! You've become a Braixen!" Josh said. I looked myself over. It DID feel weird. Having a tail, my senses felt stronger, and a surge of fiery power flowed throughout me. I was remotely speechless. I didn't know how to react. "This is...wow..." I said. "Now, let's get you all to Mrs. Cresslestia's office to sign you up." Josh said.

Josh led us to an office down the hall and we walked in. Mrs. Cresslestia was sitting at her desk. "Well, I see the transformations went well." She smiled. I couldn't help but look back at Maria, Max, and I. I felt really weird about being a pokemon. "Now, I know how great friends you are, but you will each be in different assigned rooms." She explained. "Here are each of your assigned rooms." She said as she passed us some papers with a letter and a number and class times. Times were: breakfast in the morning, item training, gym, lunch, history, battles, and science. "So are we to head there soon?" I asked. "Yes. After you're situated, everyone is to meet in the gym so you can learn your first moveset.

I walked down the hall and arrived at room G13. I walked in with my backpack and looked around. The room had one bunk bed, an extra bed next to it, a desk with a computer, a tv, and a nintendo wii u hooked up to the tv.

I hear someone in the corner digging for something under the bunk bed. "Where did I put that handheld?" The guy asked himself. "Um...hello?" I asked. The pokemon looked up from under the bed. It was a purple monkey with a long tail with an extra hand on the end of it. "Oh! We have a new roommate?" The aipom walked over to me. "H-Hi..." I said. "Hi! I'm Jacob, but you can call me Jake." He said. "I'm Ericka. I just arrived here not too long ago." I said. Jake looked me over. "So you've turned into a braixen, huh? Nice. You know how weird it was for me to sprout an extra arm when I transformed? Heh heh." Jake giggled. Suddenly, a tall white figure with green hair-like fur and pink horns entered from a little room that was almost like a bathroom. "Jake. What kind of mischief are you getting into?" The kirlia asked. "Rose, we have a new roommate." The aipom said. Then the kirlia looked at me. "Oh, I heard we were going to get a new roommate sometime, I didn't think it'd be today. Nice to meet you, I'm Rose." Rose introduced. "I'm Ericka." I said. "Well the bunk bed is already taken, I hope you're alright with that bed over there." Rose said. "That's fine." I said. I placed my backpack on the bed. "I'd love to chat, but I have to get to the gym." I said. "By the way, where is the gym?" I asked. "Oh the gym. Yeah, just head down the hall and turn left at the corner." Rose said. "Thanks." I said.

I found my way to the gym, and everyone had just gotten there, even Josh. There was a pokemon there that looked almost human-like. "Hey there! Ericka the Braixen, huh? Welcome to my gym. I'm coach Ken and don't you forget it.' Said the machoke. Maria was standing in front of some wooden dummies. "Alright, now Maria, since you were the first to transform, you may go first. Demonstrate your moves." Coach Ken said. Maria paused. "What do you mean demonstrate? I don't know any moves..." Maria said. "It's hard to explain, but pokehumans just know their moves. Try one out." Coach Ken said. Maria focused her energy and then her eyes glowed blue. Then a blue light surrounded one of the dummies and the dummy broke. "Confusion. That's a cool move." Josh said. She then stood up and swung her tail and shot beams of stars at one of the dummies. "Swift. Nice." Max said. She then dug underground and used dig on the target. "Try a shadow ball!" Josh said. "Shadow ball?" Maria seemed confident about this move. She envisioned a dark purple ball of energy and launched it at another dummy and destroyed it. "Nice job!" Coach Ken said. "Max, you're up." He said. "Alright."

Max stood where Maria was standing and started to concentrate. He started to charge electricity and launched it at one of the dummies. "Awesome. I can use thunderbolt." Max said happily. "Try another move." Coach Ken said. "Right." Max seemed to think to himself and look down at the ground. Then, he used dig on another dummy, just like Maria did. "Thunderbolt and dig, not bad." Josh said. Suddenly, Max's face lit up and his fist was visibly becoming colder. "Ice punch!" Max said as his paw was surrounded by ice and he punched the dummy. "Alright!" Max was getting excited. Then, electricity surrounded him and he tackled another dummy. "Isn't that spark?" I asked. "Indeed it is. Great job Max!" Josh said. Max took a mighty bow and joined us in the bleachers. Now, it was my turn.

I got in front of the dummies. ...How am I supposed to do this? I don't know any moves... I looked down at my paw. Maybe just a simple attack would work. I ran towards one of the dummies and scratched it, only breaking a chunk off the dummy. "Scratch. Not bad." Max said. "C'mon, Ericka. Put some thought into it!" Josh said. ...Thought... I concentrated and closed my eyes. before I knew it, a blue square appeared in front of me. "Light screen?" I said in disbelief. I decided to try a fire type move. I grabbed the stick from my tail and then it shot out tiny embers are the dummy, burning it. "So scratch, light screen, ember. Any other moves?" Maria asked. I have to think of something. I can do stronger than this, right? I focus my energy through my stick, and then I shot out beams at a dummy and destroyed it. "Psybeam. Nice work." Coach Ken said, "Alright everyone. Tomorrow everyone is to start their first day of school. Anytime between classes, feel free to train here any time." Coach Ken said. Suddenly, two new pokemon walked in the gym. One was a gray, black, and white bird that was called a staravia. The other was called a dewott, a tall blue water otter with two scallops on its sides called scalchops. "Ah, we've got some more new students. You folks will have to excuse me. I have some business to do." Coach Ken said as he left to talk to the new students.

Everyone walked out of the gym together. ...I don't get why I'm having trouble already. Everyone else seems to have learned better moves than I, and they've just started too. "Hey Josh, what moves do you know?" Maria asked. "Oh I have a pretty good moveset. I know Aura sphere, bone rush, dragon pulse, and drain punch." Josh boasted a little. "Woah. That's pretty cool." Max said. "Heh...I learn that moveset over time. To be honest, I only started out with force palm, metal claw, aura sphere and power up punch..." Josh admitted. "Hey, the day's not over yet. Do you guys want to come to my room and continue our gaming fest? They've even managed to get fan games on there like pokemon type wild." Josh asked. "I'll come. You guys coming?" Max asked. "Eh, I'm not really in the mood. I'm gonna go exploring." Maria said. "Yeah. I think I'll just explore." I greed. "Suit yourselves. Cya guys later." Josh said as he and Max walked off to Josh's room. I followed Maria in the opposite direction.

We walked past where there was a pool. I noticed there were some humans mixed with other typed of pokemon. "Why do you think some humans are in there?" I asked Maria. She stopped and looked in the glass door of the swimming pool. "Maybe some of them are weak to water? I would suppose if you were to swim you'd probably take damage as a braixen." Maria said. "True." I replid. Suddenly, I noticed this one tall boy with dark skin look at me. I started to blush from the eye contact and continued walking down the hall. "So what do you think of this school so far?" I asked. "I think it's definitely different.I mean I have to walk on all fours. Good thing we're not supposed to tell our parents haha..." Maria giggled. "Yeah...I'd probably die if my parents saw me like this." I blushed. "How were you able to learn your moveset so easily anyway?" I asked. "I'm not sure. I just did what I could." Maria replied. "Hmm. Does it feel weird being smaller?" I asked her. "A little. Change into your human for for a second." She said. I twisted my bracelet and became my normal human self again. "...Yeah. Definitely weird. Your face looks slightly bigger than if I were human again." She explained. I changed back into my braixen form. Even though it felt slightly weird to be a pokemon, I started to agree with Josh about how the pokemon form is a little cooler.

Maria and I then then passed a sign in the middle of four halls. It read: "Shopping plaza" and pointed to the hall in front of us. "Shopping plaza?" I questioned. "Want to just browse?" Maria asked. "Might as well." I replied.

We then found ourselves in another section of the school that looked like a mall for pokemon. There was an item shop, video game store, clothing store, toys, electronics, the whole shebang. "Wow..." I said as I walked into the mall. Maria wandered over to the window of the clothes store. They had special shirt for humans that would change shape to fit their pokemon transformation. I watched as a human girl transformed into a chimchar and the shirt changed too. "Can we look in that item shop?" Maria asked. "Yeah. I'm curious about that." I replied. We walked into an item shop that was run by a kecleon. "Welcome! Can I help you find anything?" He asked. "Nope, we're just browsing." Maria replied. "Alrighty then." The item store had healing items such as potions and full heals, and then there were held items for sale. Maria looked interested in an odd incense, but then put it back on the shelf. "Ok. I'm ready to go." Maria said.

We exited the mall and saw other pokemon roaming the halls. There was a little bunny that was walking down the halls and she stopped. "Oh hey, Maria." The buneary said. "Hey Julian. Ericka, this is one of my roomates, Julian. Julian, this is my friend Ericka." Maria introduced. "Nice to meet you. braixen is a cool pokemon." Julian complimented. "Thanks. I happen to like buneary as well." I said. Julian blushed. "Aw shucks." She put her paws on her face, it was quite adorable. "So Maria, would you like to go to the pool with me and Jimmy?" Julian asked. "Sure. I'd love to." Maria said. "Would you like to come to, Ericka?" Maria asked. "No..I'm kind of tired from today. I think I just need to relax." I said. "Alright. See you later."

I came back to my room, G13, and found a huge mess underneath Jake's bed. "What the..." I said as I walked in. "I found it!" Jake exclaimed as he held his Nintendo 3ds high in the air. "What exactly is under your bed?" I asked. "Well...I have this lax incense, this potion, I have a normal gem, I have this old t-shirt, I have..." Jake went on and on. I ignored him as lied down on my bed. I changed back to my human for so I could put on a pair of headphones and started listening to music on my ipod. ...High school. Pokemon are real...and I've become one. But...why does it feel so weird? I'm one of the biggest pokemon fans...yet I'd never thought it could be real. And I wonder what this school is about. I mean...there has to be a reason for just turning kids into pokemon, right? Thoughts flowed through my head as I drifted off to sleep.
