Chapter One: Meet the Covingtons
Drew laid on his bed, next to his Eevee, staring at the ceiling. He picked up a brochure from his nightstand and read it over again. "Do you want to go?" Drew put the brochure between him and his Pokémon.
Eevee studied the picture on the cover. A picture of a large cruise ship was captioned in bold letters, "The PokéLiner vacation deluxe living and battling facilities is a great opportunity for trainers to build their Pokémon skills."
Eevee gave a long gaze at the photo before replying to Drew, "Ee! Ee! Ee!" Eevee gave a smile showing Drew he was confident with his decision.
"It settled then." Drew picked up the brochure and his packed bags. "We're heading for Sunyshore!" The two ran down the mansion's stairs and went outside with the baggage. Drew put his baggage in the car and loaded the surfboards and bikes in also.
"Are you ready Drew?" Drew's mother shut the trunk and opened the doors for them to get in.
"Am I ever!" Eevee gave a cheer and both of them got in the truck.
Drew's little sister, Karen, was waiting in the back seat for them to get in. "You took long enough."
"Mom, she's coming on the boat?" Drew was in shock that his trip could be shattered by his sister.
Drew's mom started the car, "Don't worry; she'll be in a whole different class."
"Yeah it's a compromise!" Karen smiled, "I can get on the boat if I stay in second class.
Drew and Eevee exchanged glares and smiled, "Does this mean we're in first class?"
"I bought out the Junior Balcony Suite for you!"
"YOU'RE KIDDING?" Drew and Karen yelled in unison.
"Yes, I think Drew is deserving of a little bit of class on his journey. Queen sized bed, spa and a Pokémon battle practice zone."
"And what suite do I get, mom?" Karen was beginning to become jealous.
"A second class deluxe, fit just for you." Karen sighed, she understood seniority, but this was unreasonable.
When they finally reached the Hearthome airport the concierge took their luggage and they went inside the airport. They all went through security and sat in the airport waiting room. "So you're going to be staying in a Sunyshore ranch with dad?" Karen asked.
"Your father and I wanted to stay close to a PokéLiner so we'll be staying on the beach." When the time came, the Covington family boarded their first class seats on their flight to Sunyshore City.
During the flight, Drew got some sleep he would need to be able to have energy for his first days on the cruise. He was awake by his sister when the flight ended, "Drew, wake up. The boat leaves in an hour."
The family got out of the plane and later exited the airport. They took a taxi to the port where the giant ship was docked, "Woah!" Karen was amazed at the size of the ship. That's amazing!"
Mrs. Covington gave her heart-felt goodbyes and the two kids walked up into the check-in lobby in a building outside of the ship. Drew and Karen waited in-line for boarding. Karen got signed in and waited by the door for Drew. "Drew Covington, first class."
"Welcome Drew, here is your welcome guide. Please fill out this form."
