==Background without spoilers but still might have some spoilers so...==

It's March, a normal month for West Yunicath High a normal high school in Yunicath, Twilisti, a decently sized city. The school has its issues, such as a worryingly higher than average bullying rate, although the school's new administration has been hard to crack down on it... It's mainly caused by the stereotypical "class"-divisions, "nerds", "jocks", etc. The type of stuff that you would see in an 80s movie. Of course, it's more complicated than that, but in this time, most people don't really think anything of it. The "jocks" are the school's football team (mostly), one of the best high school teams in the entire state of Twilisti. Everyone else simply thinks they're locked into a mindset of self-absorption... and in a way that might be true... 

On the cover: Scott Raynz (17 atm): A 5'10" 'normal' pikachu who does work out a fair bit but is also very smart. He is a kind and helping person, is popular among most 'normal' kids in school, and is well-liked among *most* of the school's staff as well. He actually just moved here at the end of last year, yet he already made a boyfriend, Achi, a dewott and someone who's on the runners' team. Despite being in a romantic relationship, Scott has never actually interacted with Achi in person outside of school. Achi says that it's because of him having "strict parents", which Scott understands. Scott's father, Quintin, is a cop as well, being transferred from Unicava (main reason why they moved), and also an ex-wrestler. His mother works at the main visitor center of the colonial/historical square of Yunicath, and also helps work on the general "Historical Pentagon" section of the Morli Peninsula near the coast of Twilisti. His mother has been pregnant over the past few months, so she's mostly been staying home for the past week or so as the pregnancy progresses. His father unfortunately works for most of the days (minus days-off), but he is still very close to him, as is his mom. He sometimes wonders what cases his father looks into, considering each one progressively becomes more classified. Maybe it had to do with the fact that his father took the job of being an officer after [REDACTED]. He still keeps in contact with his old friends in Unicava via his contacts, and also having them as friends on the app Campfire {Discord... it's Discord...}. Life seems good, it's a new chapter for him, especially since not only is he still only a few months new here, but he'll also be an adult later in the year... He doesn't really know what he wants to do, but he is interested in both the arts (especially music) and science (especially biochemistry).

Isaac Xetharos (also 17 atm): A 6'5" buizel "jock" and a member of the West Yunicath High School's football team. Most of his team members are pretty big size-wise, and therefore pretty strong. Isaac especially is considered a really good quarterback and can throw a pretty mean ball. Of course, like his fellow teammates, due to their size and status, naturally he has an ego... a pretty fucking big ego... He doesn't bully others as much as some of his teammates and is never physical, but he still occasionally puts the kids at school whom definitely don't have an advantage against them down and often laughs along to one of his friends shoving someone against a locker. So yeah, he's kind of a dick [might be an understatement]. His best friend (since preschool) is Yuri, a lucario his size and of course a fellow teammate. Isaac and Yuri are pretty much the same but also opposites in a mutualistic way. If Isaac is going to pass the ball onto a teammate, it's likely Yuri. If Yuri is unfortunately tormenting someone, Isaac is there. Isaac's workout buddy? Yuri... yeah at one point they were pretty nice kids, in elementary... uhh that's getting off-topic. He does have a girlfriend! Carly Wilson, a cheerleader at his high school (because of course). She's a pretty energetic person, and a stereotypical "dumb cheerleader", at least that's what she seems to present herself as to Isaac. Isaac has never actually had a full date with her, as she claims to have "strict parents" (...why does this sound familiar?), but he has bought tickets for a movie with her after his team wins a game against a rivalling high school. Isaac's mom is a programmer. She has actually worked on Chapter 2 of the internationally sensational indie game The Kappa's Cipher. Unfortunately, she overworks herself, and she is often coding, if not asleep from all of the exhaustion. Isaac does love her, but he rarely actually says it, mainly because she's either working or asleep. Isaac's mom remembers the good days with him... when father was still around... the last time she really saw him and his friends as the cheerful, nice kids is when they went to [REDACTED]. That's off-topic. Of course, Isaac wants to be a professional football player when he's an adult, although it's pretty expensive to get into a college that's eligible for drafting.

That's how life is for both of them before this story starts... how does it play out afterwards? You'll see...

Welp, it's finally here (at least I hope). 

This is going to be a long one, and it's going to be split into many parts. That's why I have "whole story" in the name of this. Current plans, it'll be split into different "books", and those into chapters... and possibly the chapters into different parts... you'll see when it gets there... I'm pretty lazy but I hope I'll get a good chunk of this done by the end of the year.

Love you all, and thanks for the support you have given me throughout my art journey so far... Just remember, be weary of high winds...
