Hi there. My name's Ash Ketchum. Today I start my first day at high school. All of my friends have got into the same school so I am excited and raring to go. To be honest, I have no idea how we all made it into such a prestigious school.

Don't you know what school I am talking about? It's the best school in all of the region! Lumiose High School of Academic Perfection is the precise name. L.A.P is what the school is known as and the only jokes anyone can make about this school is the perverted use of that very word. Most students of other schools are just very jealous of the talent in L.A.P.

When I say talent, I mean brains. Everyone is a top scorer. The top 10 in the first year usually achieve 99-100% and there are at least five students that tie first place. It is hectic.

Me and my friends? Oh, we finish right at the bottom. Surprised? Because I am not. I can barely hold my own in Math, it's hectic. Let's not forget every other subject on the curriculum. It isn't just me either. All of my friends are very bad at the subjects the school has to offer. We barely scraped entry into the school. We didn't even get the minimum percentage of our overall scores. The reason we got in was due to our innate abilities as first-rate detectives. Each of us in the group has individual abilities that make us unique and make our team unstoppable.

Let me tell you a story of a crime we uncovered in Middle School. Even today, we still don't know what truly happened. But, that night made us realise what we wanted to do and how we were going to do it.

2 years ago is when the story started.

It was a dark night. The rain had just begun to pour across the glass roof of the greenhouse. The wind whistled through the pipes and cracks along the floors, reverberating through the silence. Thunder hid beneath the clouds, a dull roar across the night sky. 

"Why are we in here again?" Gary asked, looking around at us all, our big group of friends. 

Gary...he was the one we called 'bad cop' in the group. His intuition and physical ability made him a good teammate. He was also the one to put the pressure on the others in our class that would commit petty crimes, like bullying or theft. 

"I heard there was a crime scene near this greenhouse and it started raining, you moron," May replied with a frown, before chucking a handful of chocolates into her mouth.

May loved anything that was sweet. She could never part ways with her love for chocolate. Yeah, especially chocolate. She was always eating that stuff, but she never gained any weight. She was pretty much hated by anyone that wasn't us, but she didn't let that bother her. That's her speciality. She was good at keeping calm, even under insane pressure. It was good for when things got hairy.

"You and chocolates, again? God, you never stop eating that rubbish," Iris folded her arms and stared at May dead in the eyes, who just stuck her tongue out in reply.

Iris was the athlete of the group. She was very agile and quick on her feet and also probably the smartest out of all of us. Iris was always helping us learn new things and also using her smarts, or, what she had, to fit crimes together like jigsaw pieces.

"I wish I could eat it all the time but I would probably just get really fat," Dawn frowned, looking down at her stomach area. 

Dawn? It was kind of strange because as a group, we all had certain capabilities that made is a good team. She didn't have much to bring to the table. She was really popular with everyone in school and a great dancer. She performed in a lot of shows but didn't have anything to bring to the table here. Well...sometimes, she would have useful information and save our butts.
