Chapter one

Out in the woods near Cherrygrove there lived a young chikorita female named Spring who loved her life and everything in it, why not when you get everything you want, when you want it and almost never got scolded for anything. She spent her days sun bathing out in a nice cool clearing in the forest and at night spent all her time talking to her friends. Since she was the oldest she often found herself taking care of her younger brother though it was often to easy to just ditch him and run off to enjoy the afternoon sun. Spring often heard her parents talking about sending her away to school on some dump of a island some where she never heard of but that'll never happen since pokemon don't go to school. No....she was just going to lay here and keep milking all the goodness out of her parents for as long as possible.

Spring: Life is good.... *Spring said out loud as she closed her eyes and allowed the warm summer air whisk her away into dream land.* I.....don't ever want to grow up.

?: Spring! Spring! Its here! Its here! *The familiar voice of her brother brought her back from her relaxation and made her a bit tense all over. She loved him to death though hated to be around him for more than a few minutes a day.*

Spring: What is it? *she asked as a smaller chikorita stopped in front of her holding two letters in his vines, one was addressed to her while the other to him.* Paul you know how much I hate for you to bug me when I'm having my me time.

Paul: But that's all the time sis.

Spring: So why don't you stop bugging me all the time then? *she was really mean to him even if she didn't notice it.*

Paul: *hands the letter addressed to Spring to her while he slowly starts to back away.* I'm sorry sis I was just so excited and-

Spring: Just buzz off runt so I can get back to my time. *she looks at the letter and noticed how the words were in gold lettering.* Someone is trying to impress. *tears it open and saw the letter itself was one gold paper with silver lettering and attached to it was a white hair which she could see was that of a Absol's.*

"Dear Spring Woodall daughter of Matlock and Paulina Woodall,

You have become of age and as all pokemon when they become a year old or are close to it by the time of the fall semester are invited to come attend formal training school to better their understanding of the world around them and how to survive in it. I send you this invitation to come attend my school and learn first paw how to survive in our ever changing world and understand how your body will be changing in the few upcoming months of your young life. But this school is not all about survival training but will also teach you about mating and how to not only do it right but also how to spot, attract and be a good mate for life. So show this letter at the large dock close to your home and prepare to yourself for a life changing experience.

Professor Bangam Head Master of Bangam School of Survival and Courtship "

Spring only looked at the letter before throwing it to the side as she returned to sun bathing. Paul saw what she had done and quickly snatched it up.

Paul: Spring why are you throwing this away like it means nothing.

Spring: *annoyed* Because it doesn't dip stick, its just trash so will you throw it away for me thanks. *faces away from him*

Paul: I got the same thing you know.

Spring: And where is the part where I should care, go ahead waste your life away at the school I don't care. *yawns* More food for me.

Paul: I'm telling mom. *runs off.*

Spring: *blinks as she curses her luck and get ups to chase after him.* Always has to be such a baby. *she was going to get it now as the chikorita female ran after her younger sibling.*

When Spring arrived home she found her father already in possession of both letters as he looked them over with a proud grin on his face. From what Spring knew both her parents had gone to Bangam and were very popular though she never knew why.

Matlock: Spring your back, your brother told me what how you feel about going to school.

Spring: It's a waste of time dad. *she said in a snapping tone of voice.*

Matlock: *signs* Look I'm not in the mood for this I'll let your mother handle you. Come on Paul I want to talk to you personally anyway. *they leave the room as Spring's mother walked over she looked a bit excited to see that her daughter was finally growing up.*

Paulina: You don't know how excited I am about seeing my baby finally going to school, you know it was only nine years ago that I too left my home and went away to Bangam's.

Spring: I'm not going mother.

Paulina: *look of concern was on her face.* I don't understand- *Spring quickly cuts her off in the most rude of tones*

Spring: Of course you wouldn't mother.

Paulina: Now why do you say that sweetie? *she was trying to not lose her tempter with her.* You know I wasn't that much different from you when I was your age.

Spring: How so?

Paulina: Well...*smiles as she sits down near Spring as she was hoping that by being more relaxed she could make her daughter more understanding.* I use to be a very wild and rude chikorita who fought with everyone around her including your father, why if it wasn't for him loving me so much why I don't know where I might be right now.

Spring: *she felt her mother try to use a vine to bring her over closer but she fought it off.* Please I'm too old for that mother.

Paulina: Your never to old for hugs Spring.

Spring: Well they don't feel right to me, and another thing why should I believe you mother? You was earned the title of Most Pure Pokemon back at your graduation.

Paulina: *smiles* I wasn't always such a good grass type my little leaf.

Spring: *angered* I hate it when you call me that. I hate you and I hate my life!

Paulina: *starting to get up set.* Spring! Don't use that word in this cave you know better than that.

Spring: When have you ever cared about me!? Your always off with dad getting screwed! *that did it as Spring was lifted off her hind legs and dangled just inches from her mother's face.*

Paulina: I love you more than you could ever imagine, your so into yourself that you don't see just how close you are to getting yourself hurt one of these days. *Paulina saw nothing but herself in Spring as a image flashed back in her mind of when she was in Spring's place while her mother was in her's.*

Spring: *spat at her mother.* I wish I was never born! Then at least I wouldn't have to be in this stupid family.

Paulina: *she tired of fighting with her* Spring...*she was near crying but she had to remain strong if she wanted to get though to her daughter.* You don't know how much those words hurt me. *puts her down on the ground and released her.* I just hope that you are as lucky as I was when I was your age. *she left the room leaving Spring all by herself. Even though Spring didn't see it she had made her mother finally cry.*

One Week Later

Even though Spring had fought it she was forced to go down to the docks which meant she was going to school. Her brother was over excited as he got to go even though he wasn't of age just yet his birthday was a month from now which was still in the allowed time frame.

Paul: Oh man I can't wait! *he said running down to the docks where there was a large crowd of other local pokemon.* I'm going to bag me a hot fire type pokemon.

Matlock: *speaks to his mate.* Fire type?

Paulina: I don't know why but he seems interested in other types of pokemon.

Matlock: Nothing against that but....aren't fire types a bit...warm?

Paulina: Let the boy explore at least he's not into boys alright, lets be thankful for that. Remember the last family reunion...spent three hours trying to talk cousin Veeny out of going out with that creepy gender confused Gloom that I still wish I understood how he couldn't figure out that it was a male.

Matlock: I don't know I always thought he had strange taste.

Spring: *rolls eyes* Maybe you should had sent him to school.

Paulina: Talking under your breath again.

Spring: No! You always told me that if you have something to say then just tell it as it is.

Matlock: *fed up with both of them.* SPRING! *picks her up by the neck.* I don't know what happened between you two but don't you EVER speak to your mother like that again or I swear I'm not afraid to be one child less.

Paulina: Matlock don't do that! *she said afraid he might actually keep his word.* Your scaring me.

Matlock: *didn't let go of Spring as he carries her down to the docks as she was kicking and screaming.* The things I do to keep this family together.

Finally down at docks Spring was let go and saw red marks all around her neck.

Spring: Thanks a lot dad now it looks like you abuse me. *Her father didn't respond to her. Spring rolled her eyes and walked around noticing lots of pokemon her age running about.* Boy won't I feel right at home. *signs*

?: Trust me you'll get use to it. *A voice said from out of the crowd and turning around Spring saw a older looking Bulbasuar looking at her.* Your first year is the most stressful but it gets better from there.

Spring: Thank you....

?: The names Shawn Cheater I'm a fourth year at Bangam.

Spring: Forth year....?

Shawn: You go to school for seven years and this here is my fourth which makes me a somewhat semi-expert on the school. *draws closer to her.* I've spent the last three years helping out females like you and-

?: Don't everything you can to screw with them! *A beautiful looking Flareon walked over a young eevee was by her side though Spring saw she was very timid.* Don't listen to a word that comes out of his mouth, already trying to be a First Year Shark.

Spring: First Year Shark?

Flareon: It means he hits on first years like yourself and tries to sleep with them. Heartless males like him are also called Cherry hunters. *she pushes Shawn back.* You're on your last leg this year Cheater one more little screw up like last year and your one the first Lapres out of this school.

Shawn: Funny you should say that Ember since your on the same Lapres as me so why don't you show a dildo up your ass like last year and go fuck yourself. I don't know why you hate me since if I remember right my brother had all rights to dump your sorry ass the way he did.

Ember: *gasped.* Don't you ever bring back up that moment! You can talk about everything but about me and Vince. *she tried to use flamethrower but missed and hits the water.* You know how I feel about that.

Shawn: So why not back off or else I'll ruin your right in front of the entire school.

Ember: One of these days Shawn your going to burn your last bridge and I swear when that day comes I'm going to be the one who throws you out of this school once and for all. Come on Elizabeth. *walks away but not before seeing her little sister eyeing Shawn.*

Elizabeth: Ok big sis. *she turns and wags her tail in a way that said "one of these days this might be all yours."

Spring: (What a strange school, maybe I might be able to get something out of it after all.) *she thought as the ferry Lapres swam over. Spring's parents walked over to her to say good - bye.*

Matlock: Spring try not to get into trouble ok. Where's your brother.

Spring: *she saw him already on the Lapres talking to other young pokemon.* Looks like he's already fits right in.

Paulina: *she tries to not speak out of tone.* Spring...promise me you'll try to be good and not start anything.

Spring: Yes mother.

Paulina: I love you and wish the best from you.

Matlock: We'll see you again in the winter if you decide to come home.

Spring: I will. *she kissed her parents and ran off to catch her ride. And for the first time she was glad that she was going to school for if there were more pokemon like Shawn and Ember then maybe this school year won't be so boring after all.*
