I sat quietly in the soft green grass and absent-mindedly stroked the serious-looking Umbreon who lay next to me. I stared off into the gray cloudy sky, where the sun was slowly rising behind the mountains, waking the world and penetrating the clouds.
"Moonshine?"
The little Umbreon raised his head and studied me with his gleaming eyes.
"Isn't it beautiful?" I asked, raking my fingers through my brown bangs and tucking them behind an ear.
Moonshine nodded his head slightly and sat up next to me.
A flash of blue and white zoomed past me and I was tackled to the ground by a soft ball of fur and speed.
"Lightfoot!" I gasped with surprise and giggled, hugging the little Pachirisu.
Lightfoot chattered excitedly and ran in tight circles around me and Moonshine. Moonshine sat calmly and watched Lightfoot with amuse glittering in his eyes. Jolte, my Pikachu, soon came bounding around the corner, twitching her tail in happiness.
"Hey Jolte!" I felt my face break into a smile as my favorite Pokémon bounded up to me, leapt into my lap, and hugged me.
"Pika pika, pikachuuuuu!" She said, expressing her pure joy of the beautiful morning and of seeing me.
I picked my Pikachu hat off the ground and set it securely on top of my thick, silky brown-blonde hair and held my arm out. Jolte jumped up and ran up onto my shoulder, affectionately rubbing her cheek against mine.
"Well, this day is started now!" I said stroking Jolte. "C'mon guys, the others are waiting."
I walked over to our house and pushed open the deep blue door, allowing Moonshine and Lightfoot to dart inside. I followed and shut the door, as the light of the fully risen sun began to stream through the windows.
I walked down the hallway and into my room, which was completely done in blue and green, with the walls covered in picture frames of my favorite memories. A bulletin board hung over my desk, which was neatly organized with my notebooks and papers in opposite corners and my pencils, pens, and highlighters in a sticker-covered can. I paused on my way to make my bed and gazed at a blue frame, which held the picture of me dressed completely as a Pikachu with Jolte on my shoulder smiling hugely next to a slender, slightly taller girl with gleaming emerald eyes and short brown-blonde hair sticking out from under an Eevee hat. She was holding an adorable little Eevee and smiling brightly, holding her hand so it formed a heart with mine. This girl was Crystal, my soul sister and best friend for life. She was extremely sweet and totally EPIC, and was the one who helped me get over my shyness. Her Eevee, Evelyn, was her favorite Pokemon as Jolte was mine. The two Pokemon had formed a bond as strong as mine and Cry's. I grinned, remembering that day. It had been Crystal's birthday and I had wanted to make it special as I could for her...
