Outcasts

Chapter 1
I had a few questions.

First, why did the people at my Pokemon training school like to ignore me? The only time they talked to me was to snap at me or order me around. Second, this guy always stalked me, and it's creepier because it's an old guy, probably in his fourties or something. Third... okay, so there is no third.

I ignored the whispers - which were, as aways, directed at me - and walked faster toward the school. My eye twitched as I heard more whispers. One kid called out, "Look, there's Equinox," saying it in a mocking tone.

One of the strange things about me was my name: Equinox. I don't know why my mother came up with that name, because everyone made fun of me for it.

My Ninetales, Solstice, snarled at the group of kids, his ears pinned flat to his head. The lead kid barely flinched at Solstice's snarl; he only laughed. Solstice evolved when some idiot threw a Fire Stone at him yesterday. He's smaller than other Ninetales, though, so I guess that's why he didn't seem threatening to them.

Anyway, I was fifteen, but hadn't gotten a Pokemon until I was fourteen (being Solstice as a Vulpix) because of my overprotective mom. Most of the kids here were younger than that. My mom forced me to go to school even though I insist I can learn how to train Pokemon on my own. Oh, and don't forget the old "Go to school, and you'll get some friends!" excuse. Yeah, so all of my so-called friends would be five years younger than me!

So I had fifteen minutes to kill. I wanted to spend that fifteen minute killing those other kids, but then I'd get expelled, which my mom would resist that I murdered a few ten year-olds, then I'd get suspended, my mom would resist, blah blah blah, and then I would remain in school after my mom annoys the principle enough. I decided to spend the fifteen minutes making sure that the creepy-stalker-guy wasn't here, and training Solstice. Solstice must've been reading my mind (a trick I'd taught him as a Vulpix), because he looked up at me with wide red eyes.
