I sat at my desk reading a letter from school. It was my report card from first semester.

Strategy Ec. 6 - 98

Combat 6 - 89

Math 6 - 97

Reading - 100

Biology 1 - 98

PE - 79

(Attack - 95

Defense - 75

Speed - 85

Critical Hit - 90

Protect Defense - 95)

History - 100

IQ - 135'

"I could use some more work."

But before I could say anything else in my disappointment, I glanced in surprise to see a second letter. I lost my breath for a moment when I remembered the notice they left for the students:

'Report cards are being sent out today everyone. Students will expect to recieve them in their homeroom class. And a notice to those who will recieve a second letter, just know it contains a chance of a lifetime. For the students that recieve them if you have any questions please come by my office. Thank you.'

I dropped my report card and immediately scoped through the second letter.

"Dear Miss Eevee,

Given your academic performance in school, you have been given the chance to transfer to the 7th grade. Your IQ on the bottom surpasses the school's expectations on average intelligence quotient or IQ. But in order for the transfer to be effective you must have an 1Q of 144 or higher. Therefore we are giving you a one month chance to pick it up at the start of second semester, and if your IQ has gone up to the required number you will be transferred immediately. Call my office if you have any questions or concerns regarding tutoring, student/teacher aid, study sessions, or regards to graduation. We all await your transfer date.

Sincerely Your Principal

Miss Lilligant."

"Wuh?"

I was so stunned. Is this really accurate?

"Oh my arceus! This is-"

"Eevee! You're friend *Eevee is at the door!"

"Okay mom, I'll be there in a second!"

I quickly changed into an agua blue shirt placing it over my black tank top and headed downstairs.

(Arodz 28 : The characters don't wear pants just tops. [Babies are the only exception.] Only the males do on formal ocassions like balls or dances.

And to answer the regular size question (Sorry forgot the name of the sender), the characters are regular sized pokemon not anthropomorphic.)

I told mom goodbye who just waved at me as she was cutting some flower stems. And blew a kiss to my brother's egg on the counter.

I pulled open the door.

"Hi *Eev-"

"No! This is supossed to be my girls night with Eevee not you, you b*tch!"

"I haven't seen my bestie in forever f*cker! And whoever hangs out with Eevee is up to her! IF YOU REALLY ARE HER FRIEND YOU OF ALL POKEMON SHOULD RESPECT THAT!"

"JUST BECAUSE YOU RAISE YOUR VOICE DOESN'T MEAN I CAN! YOU PRENTIOUS WHINE FACE LUMP BAG PIECE OF S*IT!"

"COPY S*IT CAT!"

"S*UT WHO ALWAYS CHASES AFTER YOU-KNOW-WHO EVERY ARCEUS DAMNED SECOND! YOU PATHETIC CLOWN EXCUSE OF A TWEEN WHO-"

"HOW DARE YOU, YOU-"

"I'M NOT F*CKING FINISHED! MISS I'M SO THIRSTY I HAVE NO PRIORITIES FOR MYSELF! GIRLY GIRL TRASH TALK S*IT BAD TOXIC WASTE DISGRACE WHO WILL BURN ANYTHING IF IT MEANT WINNING HER SENPAI! HOOKER!"

"Wow that's harsh..."

Fennekin had nothing to say to that. Or so I thought.

"LOOK WHOSE TALKING MISS I'M GONNA PUNCH ANYTHING WHO ACTUALLY BELIEVES THAT SHE IS LOVED, WHEN SHE'S NOTHING BUT A PRENTENTIOUS ASS WHO CARES ABOUT NOTHING BUT HERSELF, AND IS NOTHING BUT A TOXIC WASTE WHO WILL WEAR OUT HER FRIENDS PATIENCE AND THEY FINALLY DECIDE TO LEAVE HER ASS IN THE DUST S*IT FACE!"

I sighed as they compeletely ignored my presence and slumped on the steps. Boringly watching them glare at each other.

"Hey Eevee!"

"Hi Sylveon."

Sylveon stared at the angry glaring duo with a disappointed sigh.

"The usual?"

"Pretty much. Where's Ryu?"

"Couldn't make it today. Said he had to stay at home to do some private training that couldn't be turned down."

"*sigh That sounds like Ryu alright."

Sylveon looked at me in concern for a second but quickly shook it aside.

"Shall we do something about the angry statues in front of us?"

"I tried but they just pretended I'm not even here."

"I see. Shall we try walking away to see if that will kick a reaction off of them?"

"Better than sitting here waiting for them to finish. Let's go."

"After you madame."

I chuckled a little as we walked down the sidewalk looking back to see if the girls we're coming.

"Nope not working."

I sighed as we both continued to the train station together.

*In the train

"Guess what?"

"What?"

"My mom's teaching me how to drive so I can get my driver's permit on my birthday."

"That's great Sylveon. While I have to pick up my grade in PE class and learn how to be a big sister, Ryu has to work on controlling his aura, *Eevee and Fennekin have to work out their competitive issues, I haven't seen much of Feebas lately, and Froakie is still working to perfect his art style. We all have something to work on I'm just worried if we will have time for each other in the future because of how occupied we all are."

"Don't worry Eevee we all will remain friends. As long as we all contribute the same amount of time to each other we will all make it."

"I suppose so."

"Is that what was bothering you?"

"Well that and myself. I want to keep my problems a secret from everyone else if that makes sense."

"Like how you mentioned something about picking up your grade in PE? Do you need more training again?"

"Yes it would be appreciated. Especially after the offer the school gave me."

"What offer?"

I happily took out the letter from my shirt pocket and handed it to him. He curiously scopes through it, a smile steadily forming on his face.

"They really gave you an offer for you to go up a grade if you can pass the incoming test, to increase your IQ score and if it meets their expectations you can transfer to the seventh grade?"

"Pretty much."

"Well I'm proud of you little spark. And I see why you want to keep it a secret from the gang."

"You sure that nicknames not getting old?"

"Hehe. So do you want me to help you?"

"Of course. I wouldn't have anyone else. You're a great teacher. And I need all the help I can get."

"Let's get started then."

"Just like old times."

*At the abandoned court

"Ha!"

"Good your speed is steadily improving. Just try twisting your hip a little more to get better momentum next time you try to punch."

"Okay!"

Me and Sylveon readied our fighting stances. I tightened my fist in my glove and put all my might into the punch. Sylveon blocked with his arm.

"Way better. I almost couldn't block you in time."

"I'm just getting started!"

I tried punching with my free paw and Sylveon blocked with his other arm. I was waiting for that and I kicked up sand and flunged it at him.

He pushed me back hard and avoided it. Once he pushed his front paws back up he jumped back to dodge my kick.

"Wow you're fast!"

"It's not over yet!"

Before I could charge at him though he flung a Swift at me and I fell backwards. Seconds after I hit the ground I kicked up a Sand Attack at him and he used his ribbons to block it.

"Wha- Oh no you don't!"

I charged at him with a Tackle but before I could even touch him he had pushed off the ground with his ribbons and tripped me.

"Wahh! Oof!"

I fell forward and my face landed on the ground in a heap.

"Koff! Koff! Damn so close!"

"Don't let your anger get the best of you. If you let it happen the fight will be over before you know it."

"I'll try to remember that next time I try to tackle you."

"Yeah- Oh Eevee your nose is bleeding."

"Ah! Not again!"

"It's okay I got you covered."

He quickly proceded to bandage my nose. While pulling out a hankerchief to use it and prevent more blood from coming out.

"If you're wondering about your progress you're doing great. At the rate you're going you'll be a seventh grader before you know it."

"That's good to know."

"When nose feels better you want to practice endurance running again?"

"As long as my asthma doesn't kick in then we're good."

"Okay then are you ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be."

"1 2 3! GO!"

"Hey wait up!"

I chased after him as he ran even faster than usual, me barely able to keep up.

*1 hour later

When it was over we both fell on the floor in a heap panting and laughing as we wiped the sweat off with individual towels.

"Phew! That was awesome!"

"Hahaha! You said it!"

"Think we're done for the...phew! day?"

"Yup very done."

"Let's head home then. Need help getting up?"

"Nah! I'm okay."

We tiredly walked back to catch the bus ride home. Sylveon barely able to wave goodbye when we got to my stop.

When I got home I blinked in surprise to see *Eevee and Fennekin still glaring at each other in front of my house.

"Geez don't they ever get tired of that?"

But I just ignored them and headed inside to take a really long nap.
