Fear the Fluff
Welcome to the world of pokemon. You know how it works. People are given or catch pokemon, and do whatever feels right with them, no matter if it's breeding, training, or putting them in contests.
But lately, things have been... different.
It seems to happen at random- some people are either born with traits of a pokemon, or gain them later in life. It never affects a trainer or anyone else that is often near pokemon. Why is this happening? The scientists and doctors seem to think that it's a virus. Since trainers, coordinators, and breeders don't get it, they believe that it is prevented by the presence of pokemon by building an immunity.
These half-people... gijinka, as they're sometimes called, seem to have the same abilities as the pokemon that they represent. However, there seems to be some discrimination between the gijinka and humans, sometimes at both sides. Eventually, someone decided to build a school for the gijinka, so that they wouldn't have to deal with their burden alone. They could get helpful advice or tips from more experienced gijinka, and rarely, certain humans. Whenever a new gijinka is discovered, an invitation to join the school is mysteriously sent the next day. No outsider knows for certain who founded the school. Not many care enough to find out. All that matters to the gijinka is that this safe haven has appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, even if the source is... unexpected.
