New Girl In Town
Copper's POV:
It's hard to believe that's been almost half a year already…
Only less than six months have passed since my brother and I were enrolled in this school.
Sure it was crazy at first, but there's nothing we couldn't handle…
…Especially with the help of our new friends.
Sure they weren't the easiest to deal with at first… But as time passed, we've both grown too fond of them to even think of letting them go.
It was shocking to say the least to see Silver being so fond being around other people and Pokémon other than me, my team, Dad and our Dad's team.
His change had been even more obvious around Blue, Crystal, and Gold.
He's grown so close to them that even I'm getting a bit jealous!
Gold's like the best friend he's never had, sure they argued but they make one heck of a team.
He and Crystal get along like two peas in a pod, when it comes to school (or Gold's stupidity) there's nothing these two can't agree on.
Then there's Blue… The biggest change I've seen in my little brother is when he's with her.
He actually smiles more and even laughs alongside her; he's grown quite overprotective of her too.
In fact, those two are almost never seen apart.
It almost feels like… Silver is replacing me.
Replacing… Me…?
It's so weird… Why do I feel my tears falling?
Not only that, but there's a slight pain in my chest too.
Could it really be…?
Is Silver really trying to replace me…?
My little brother… Doesn't need me anymore…?

Yellow's POV:
"Yellow…?"
…
"Uhm… Yellow?"
…
"Yellow!"
"Huh…? What?" I looked up, only to be greeted by Red's crimson gaze, eyes clearly showing concern.
"Oh, Red…! Sorry, I didn't hear you… Did you need something?" I felt slightly flustered that Red still did not remove his gaze from mine; he looked really worried though.
"Uhm yeah… Seen Cu?" he asked, "I heard she's been feeling kind of down lately…"
"Yeah… I know…" I replied sadly. 'How could I not know, she's one of my best friends and my roommate.' "She's been that way ever since she had that fight with Silver…"
Just a few days ago, we all learned that Copper and Silver got into another argument about a couple of weeks prior. Usually we don't worry this much since the two don't stay mad at the other for long, but this time was different… The two haven't spoken for almost a week now and are constantly avoiding/ignoring the other.
"It's kind of weird seeing those two apart… Ever since they first came here, they've been almost inseparable." Red said before pulling up a chair and sitting next to me, since we were in the Library; we had to keep our voices low.
"I know… It's troubling…" I replied, very worried about our companions. "I hope they make up soon…"
"So do I, Yellow, so do I…" Red replied before patting my head in a comforting way.
Same old Red…
For as long as I can remember, Red was always amazing in my eyes.
He is a good friend to everyone we know, a hero to all, and a great Pokémon Trainer.
When I first met him, I wanted to be just like him…
And, if memory serves me correctly, if it wasn't for him; I probably wouldn't be here now…
…In PokéSpe High, with all my friends.
It was all because of Red.
Red… Made everything possible…
He changed my life…
Suddenly, a loud scream erupted from the school garden.
"What was that?!"
"I dunno… " Red replied before getting up, "And I have a feeling that it isn't anything good…"

Copper's POV:
"Professor Nightray…! Please come down!" Ms. Rainsworth called out in worry after seeing our Class Adviser cling to one of the highest branches in the oldest tree in the school's garden.
I was just playing with my Eevee, Kokoro, when I heard the scream, rushing to the source; I found my raven-haired teacher clinging to the branch of the old tree, his features paler than usual with an expression of pure horror clearly written on his face. Below him was a woman with raven-hair and beautiful blue eyes, hands on her hips and looking quite unhappy. Not only that, she had an adorable Skitty sitting on top of her shoulder.
Not too long after, a few of the other teachers had arrived.
The Guidance Counselor, Ms. Sharon Rainsworth. Our Principal's Secretary, Ms. Samantha Baskerville. And lastly, Mr. Reim Lunettes, our history teacher.
"Honestly Gilbert, you're pathetic… Get down from there will you." Ms. Baskerville scolded, she sounded really annoyed. "You're setting a bad example for our students, not only that… You're giving Gold Hibiki and Oz Bezarius another idea that will get them kicked out— on second thought, stay up there."
"Samantha…!" Ms. Rainsworth gasped, sounding a bit appalled by the idea.
I chuckled a little, earning shocked looks from the Faculty members that were currently present.
It seems they didn't notice my presence up until know, but judging by the small smile the raven-haired woman spared me; she was the only one who had actually given attention to my presence.
"Ms. Rocket, have you been there this whole time?" Mr. Lunettes asked, "And where's your brother? I usually see you two together."
I felt slightly hurt, "Oh you know, he has his business and I have mine…"
Luckily Mr. Lunette didn't pester me anymore on the subject.
"Gilbert, honestly, even after all these years you still haven't changed…"
"Lara, for the love of Arceus… PLEASE RETURN T-THAT T-THING TO ITS POKEBALL!" Professor Nightray cried out, shaking violently like a leaf in a storm whilst pointing at the pink cat-like Pokémon below him, resting ever so innocently on its Trainer's shoulder.
'So her name is Lara...'
A stern glare was sent his way, causing everyone gathered around Ms. Lara to stiffen slightly. Obviously, there was something about this woman that I have yet to learn about.
"You," she quickly turned to me; I stiffened in fear. "You're one of Gil's students aren't you?"
I gulped, "Uhm…"
"Well, are you?" her eyes narrowed.
"Y-Yes Ma'am!" I answered, slightly frightened by the woman staring me down.
Just then, out of the blue; she smiled!
Although still cautious; I couldn't help but admire how beautiful her smile was.
"Then this is the perfect opportunity… For a lesson! Now, one idiot is stuck up a tree… My question is: how to get him down?"
I wasn't given the chance to answer; Professor Nightray's scream of terror was the last thing I heard before the sound of something falling through the thick branches of the tree, and a huge THUD hitting the ground followed suit.
"That has got to hurt…"

"So this is PokéSpe High…"
Two mysterious figures stood in front of the school, wide grins decorated their features as their plans began to unfold little by little. One was a teen with hair as green as the first leaves of spring, while his companion was a girl much smaller than him but with blue eyes and brown hair.
"Don't be too impressed now, we're not here to," a slight chuckle. "Play nice."
A small giggle escaped the lips of the girl, "Of course…"
The green-haired lad ruffled his companion's hair playfully, amidst the protests she was throwing his way.
"Honestly, you never change… N." the young girl joked, "Now, let's hurry up and find Soul. I'm sure she's just dying to see us~"
With a playful smile at her companion, the brown-haired girl skipped merrily towards the building in front of them. Another chuckle escaped the older teen's lips as he placed his hands in his pockets, trailing behind his companion in a slower pace.
"Soon, soon everything will fall into place…"
[A/N:] Now, I know what you're all thinking… "Finally…! An update!"
But you try being in my shoes, school has been torture… And that torture has just now been laid to rest for a while. It's summer here in the Philippines, so… Vacation time!
Now, I really hope that this has got you guys excited for the next chapter!
To be honest; I did not expect N to appear in this chapter. But I love how he made his entrance~
Now, you must be wondering. "Who is Copper?"
Well, it's still Nina people! I just changed her name because Nina is another form of my nickname, and it's been kind of weird having someone you dislike talk about your OC/nickname so casually at school. So… I changed it.
I also changed her team a little bit; you'll see more of her Pokémon in the upcoming chapters.
Thank you all for putting up with me this far; you guys are the best!
Please review~
