Plot

Kim Possible begins as Kim and her best friend and sidekick, Ron Stoppable, start Middleton High School where Freshman Kim must navigate an intimidating new social hierarchy. She is ready to tackle the challenge head-on, just as she has with everything else in life, but her confidence is shaken when she faces roadblocks at every turn—getting lost in the confusing hallways, being late to class and facing rejection during soccer tryouts from her frenemy, Bonnie Rockwaller.

Kim's day starts to turn around when she and Ron meet and befriend Athena, a new classmate and Kim Possible super fan who is having an even worse day than Kim.

With Kim's guidance and friendship, Athena transforms into the newest member of Team Possible. Soon, Athena starts to eclipse Kim just as the nefarious Dr. Drakken and Shego resurface in Middleton with a master plan to finally stop Kim. Now it is up to Team Possible—Kim, Ron, tech-genius Wade, new friend Athena, and Rufus, a Naked mole-rat that Ron met along the way—to stop these supervillains any way possible.^[2]

Quotes

Kim Possible: "I accidentally received a distress call. I was done with my homework, so I answered it. Now I save the world."

Shego: "Well, that island, if you remember correctly, slightly exploded."
Darken: "Yes. Because of Kim Possible."

Shego: "Imagine. All of your genius plans foiled by one puny kid."
Draken: "She's isn't just one, puny kid. There's something about her that makes her able to defeat villain after villain after villain. A certain spark. I want that spark."

(Kim narrating)

"Life went back to normal or as normal for a high school crime-fighter can get. It took an amount of mega coding, but we managed to stabilize Athena, flush out Draken's evil and reprogrammed the good in her.

Together we formed a martial arts club and everyone at Middleton wanted to join. Well not everyone. Turns out that being a good friend made me a better hero."
