I can't attack!!??

I just got the official global version but I can't attack. I'm on the first part: "The Beggining of an Adventure". I'm on the part where it says: " press X to attack, let's rumble!" (the one with the wolves). I even tried the short cut skills but it still won't work! No, none of my keys are broken I even switched the short cut key where the skill was. When I press A, it says: "there is nothing on the selected slot" but when I press S (where I transfered the skill from A) it's the one that doesn't respond. I can't attack!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
