Author notes:

1)English is my second language. Forgive me for any mistake.

2)I don't own Pokemon, obviously.

3)I only own the plot for this story and the eventual OCs

4)Pokemon's speeches are "Like this"

Jack had some trouble to sleep that night. Not only because he wasn't used to that new life, but especially because what his 'brother' had said to him. But he shook that thought out of his mind. 'I'm thinking too much. That must have phoned him when they were dealing with those papers.' He thought before he finally gave in to his tiredness.

Hiro, Touma and Misaka did sleep well last night, after all, they always felt more comfortable when sleeping near of their human friend.

When it was 7:00 a.m., Jack and his pokemon woke up on their own. They were already used to wake up at that hour every day. All of them yawned and stretched on the large bed.

The boy rubbed his eyes and got out of the bed, went to the drawer, picked up a green shirt and blue jeans and went into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

The pokemon were still a bit groggy, but they couldn't deny that, in the end, it was a quite pleasant night of sleep, especially because they didn't have to hurry to leave the bed and go outside, like they had to do back in the orphanage.

"I'm starting to like this place." little Misaka said stretching her arms.

Touma nodded and complemented: "Well, for once it's nice to wake up and not have to rush to get out of the bed."

Hiro agreed with his friends. That was a quite nice place to live. He stretched his paws for a bit and jumped out of the bed. He looked around for a while and smelled someone approaching. It wasn't a strange smell for the poison-type pokemon.

When the door of the room was opened, the three pokemon could see that it was Alfred. The butler raised an eyebrow when he only saw the pokemon in the bedroom. But soon the door of the bathroom opened and Jack out of it wearing his green shirt and blue jeans while carrying his night clothing.

The butler gave a friendly smile and said: "I see that you are an early riser, Master Jack."

The boy frowned and said: "You don't have to call me like that. Just Jack is fine."

The butler shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that's not possible, Master Jack."

Jack groaned, which made Alfred chuckle lightly: "Anyway, I'm here to come to wake you up and guide you to your parents. They're already having breakfast. Master Justin, unfortunately, isn't an early riser like you, so he'll take some more…effort to wake up. Now if I may…"

After finishing talking, the butler went to the basket were Jack's clothes from the previous night were and picked them up, then he took the boy's night clothes from his hands and told the boy to follow him.

Jack did as he was told and his pokemon followed him. The butler took them to the same room where he had dinner and he saw John and Jennifer already having breakfast. He also spotted a plate full of pancakes near an empty chair and near it, three bowls full of pokemon food. Jack correctly assumed that it was his seat and he took it.

Hiro and Misaka went to the bowls of food to have breakfast too, but Touma started to feel the pain in his chest coming back to him. He was starting to get worried about it. It was the first time he felt like that.

The abra didn't even teleport near the food to reach it first The abra placed his hand over his heart and walked slowly towards his bowl of food. This called the attention of the nidorino and ampharos. They looked puzzled at their friend. "Are you alright, Touma?" Misaka asked worried.

"Yeah…You seem a little off as soon as we got here." Hiro said equally concerned.

"I'm fine. Really. I think all I need is a little get-used-to with this place. It's nothing for you guys to worry about."

Hiro approached him and said: "Maybe I should try tell Jack. I mean, he can decipher what I mean by my drawings. I'm serious Touma. You should let Jack take you to a doctor or something. This is not normal. I'll do it as soon as we get the chance."

Touma sighed in defeat and ended up conceding. He had to admit Hiro was right. It could be something serious and he didn't want to have a premature end. Sooner he got to see a doctor, the better.

"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Grand…I mean…da…" Jack started saying getting really uncomfortable. He knew that they were his parents now, but he felt weird calling someone he barely knew like that.

The couple noticed that and smiled at the boy. The woman said: "You don't have to worry about calling us 'mom' and 'dad'. We can understand that everything is still new to you. You can call us anything you feel comfortable with and when you're ready, you can call us 'mom' and 'dad'. How about it, honey?"

The boy smiled softly happy that they didn't get mad for the way he addressed them. 'They're really nice people.' He thought as he took the first bite of his food.

After some minutes of silence, the man looked at his son and said: "Son, I think we should talk about your education."

Jack looked at his new father while he chew his food. When he swallowed he asked: "You mean my new school?"

The man nodded before he replied: "Precisely. Would you like to attend to a special type of school?"

"What do you mean by that?" the boy asked not taking another bite of his meal. Even his pokemon were paying close attention to that conversation.

The man chuckled seeing the boy's confused face: "Have you ever heard about the Pokemon Raising School?"

Jack nodded. "Yes. It's that private school that prepares the students who want to become pokemon doctors, raisers, breeders among other things related to pokemon."

John and Jennifer merely smiled at the boy who finally understood what they meant by mentioning that school: "You want me to attend that school?"

The man chuckled and replied: "I think the true question here is: Do you want to study there.?"

"I-I…would like to, but…" Jack started saying. Truth to be told, he always dreamed going to that school. But going there meant that he couldn't go to the same school as Mary.

"But what, my boy?" John said still smiling at Jack.

"I'm really thankful, but I kinda expected to go the same school as friend of mine goes…" the boy replied.

The man scratched his chin thoughtfully, but his wife replied in his place: "Is it a female friend? What's her name?"

The boy looked at her and answered: "Yes. Her name is Mary How did you know that?"

The woman smiled and answered: "The look in your eyes said everything, son. You want to stay near her. That's really cute, but you need to think about your future. Think for a minute. Don't you think that she would be sad if you sacrificed a good chance to fulfill your dreams so you two could attend the same school?"

"I guess…" the boy said a bit uncertain.

Jennifer then added: "Look, dear, we think that this would be a great opportunity for you. You clearly have talent dealing with pokemon. You could always see Mary after school time. But again, the decision is yours to make. We won't make you attend a school you don't want to. But did you two go to the same school before? I thought that the children in the orphanage received education there."

The boy blinked for a while and answered: "Yes, we were always taught in the orphanage. Mary usually came there when her classes were finished."

The man then said: "So even if you went to another school, the relationship between the two of you would still be the same, isn't that correct?"

The boy looked down and said: "I guess you're right…So I can at least go visit her after my classes?"

John spoke: "Sure."

The boy smiled weakly and said: "I guess I would like to go to the Pokemon Raising School."

The couple smiled and the woman said: "It's settled then. We'll take care of your enrollment this week. So you can start your classes next Monday. Use the rest of this week to get used to your new life."

The boy nodded in agreement and took another piece of his food. The man finished his own plate and looked at his son: "Jack, would you like to meet our pokemon farm?"

The boy looked back at him and asked raising an eyebrow: "Now?"

The man chuckled and said: "Well, after you finish your breakfast. Your mother will take care of your registration on the Pokemon Raising School. I would like to show you that place. We still need to finish a few details, but I would like you to go there. I think you'll like it."

The boy smiled and said: "I would love to. But when we come back, I would like to return the bag Mister Jake lent me."

"At the orphanage?" Jennifer asked.

The boy gave a positive nod and the couple smiled: "Okay then. But the bag can wait, can't it?" said John.

Jack nodded again and finished his meal. When he was done, he looked at his pokemon and noticed that they also had finished eating.

Hiro, Touma and Misaka had heard the entire conversation and they had to admit they were curious to meet that farm. They had never been to one before. All they knew about it was from what Jack told them about that kind of place.

"I wonder if we're going to make new friends there." Misaka said to her companions.

"Well, it's a pokemon farm, so there must be plenty of pokemon there." Touma pointed out.

"Yes, but what exactly pokemon do there? Do they work or something?" asked Hiro.

"I guess we'll find our the answer for that soon." Touma answered.

"I'm going now to settle your enrollment at the Praising School. See you later, boys." The woman said getting up and leaving the room.

John got up and told Jack: "I took the day off today to show you around my farm. Let's go and don't forget to bring your pokemon with you. They might enjoy it too."

The boy was happy to know that there was no problem to bring his friends with him to the farm. When he got up, he noticed Hiro was trying to tell him something. The nidorino was almost touching his horn on the floor. By experience, the boy knew that his first pokemon wanted to say something, but there was no ink, paper of even dirty for him to draw with his horn.

Hiro knew well to never try draw on a floor, because he had been scolded for that by Jake when he scratched the Orphanage floor when the pokemon was asking for some food. Fortunately, the supervisor had placed a carpet over the little drawing to prevent anyone else from seeing it, because he knew that the director wouldn't be pleased to know about it and the man didn't want for the nidorino to expelled. It would have broken Jack's heart if it had happened.

The boy then said to the nidorino: "Hiro, you can tell me that at the farm. There's plenty of place for you to tell me" but then after musing for a while he asked warily to his poison-type pokemon: "Wait, is it urgent?"

The nidorino looked at the abra who told him: "You can tell him later. In fact I'm feeling a little better for some reason. You can talk to him when we gat to the farm."

But the two pokemon gave him a skeptical look and Touma assured them: "I told you guys, I'm feeling better now. You can tell him later."

Hiro sighed and said: "Fine, I'll tell him later. But It'll still be today when I tell him."

Then Hiro looked back at Jack and shook his head showing the boy that it was nothing urgent, but Jack noticed that little talk between his little friends and he didn't like the sound of it. Besides, Misaka and Hiro seemed worried and the boy's eyebrows creased in worry: "I think you guys are hiding something. As soon as we get there, I want to know what's wrong."

His pokemon nodded in reply and the boy only sighed worried.

John watched the scene and then smiled: "Alright. I think we should get going now."
