A Morning With the Siblings

"Sato-chan~!" A voice called from downstairs, "Time to get up!"

Satoshi sat up and rubbed his eyes trying to get rid of the sleepiness.

"Cha~" a voice next to him yawned.

"If I have to get up then so do you Pikachu." He muttered as he rubbed the back of Pikachu's ears.

He stretched a bit more before hopping off the bed and walking to his closet. Pulling out his clothes he walked outside into the hallway. Pikachu followed closely behind him as he entered the bathroom.

While it may seem strange to some, Satoshi and Pikachu had a very close bond. In fact, the electric mouse often took baths with him. (Something which worried his older brothers daily. After all Pikachu was an electric mouse). After showering and drying himself he felt more awake.

"Yosh!" Satoshi exclaimed after examining himself in the mirror, "I'm all ready."

He was wearing a white undershirt with a white collared shirt. Over that was a black vest with a bright yellow strip in the middle going horizontal. Putting on his fingerless gloves he looked down at Pikachu.

"Ready to grab some breakfast?"

"Chuu~"

Upon exiting the small bathroom he was greeted by a figure.

"Red-oniisama!(1)" Satoshi exclaimed as he engulfed the taller man in a hug.

Red was the oldest of the siblings. His hair was black and unlike his siblings was straight and short. He wore a black shirt, an open red and white jacket, and blue jeans.

"Morning, Sato-chan," Red greeted back as he ruffled the younger sibling's hair and gave him a kiss on his forehead.

"Where's Aka?" Satoshi asked, looking around his older brother. Aka was Red's Pikachu and had been his partner since as long as Satoshi could remember.

"Bed."

"Oh, shall we go get breakfast then? Fire-niichan will be mad if we are late again!"

"Ah."

"Look who finally decided to join the land of the living." A person teased as he ruffled Satoshi's hair.

"Red-niisan!(2)" Satoshi pouted, "I wasn't asleep for that long. Besides Red-oniisama just woke up too!"

Red, or Reddo, was the second oldest sibling. He had short black hair like Red's except for three spikes that stuck upwards. He like Red wore a black shirt and an open red and white jacket with blue jeans.

"Red-oniisama doesn't count. He's always sleeping." Reddo pointed out.

"Red-niisan!" Satoshi pouted he never could win and argument against his brother.

"Morning, Sato-chan," Another voiced piped in, "Red-oniisama, and Red-niisan. Breakfast is ready."

"Good morning, Fire-niichan!(3)" Satoshi chirped. Forgetting about his conversation with Reddo, he ran over to the kitchen and helped Fire carry some of the plates to the table.

"Thanks Sato-chan," Fire ruffled his younger brother's hair.

"Anytime Fire-niichan!" Satoshi grinned.

Fire was the third child of the family. Unlike his siblings though his hair was a lighter brown and was more wavy than straight. He wore a black shirt, a zippered jacket, and blue jeans. Taking off his pink apron with a big red heart in the middle (a gift that Reddo had bought stating that it just screamed 'Fire-chan wear me~!') He sat down and began to eat.

"Uwaah~ Fire-niichan's cooking is really good today!" Satoshi commented as he scarfed down another pancake, "Don't you agree Pikachu?"

"Chaa~" the little mouse purred in agreement.

"This really is good today, Fire-chan. Did you try out a new recipe?" Reddo asked popping another pancake in his mouth.

"Yeah. Think I should add it to the menu?" Fire asked nervously.

"It's delicious. You should," Red agreed as he ate some more.

"If Red-oniisama says so, then I will. Will you help me later with figuring out the price, Red-niisan?"

"Sure."

After finishing the delicious meal, Reddo and Red cleaned up the plates.

"Well I have to go, I promised Yellow-chan that I would go fishing with her today," Reddo exclaimed as he placed his hat backwards on his head. Swooping down he picked up Pika and ran out the door.

"Crap," Fire began, "I forgot I promised to meet with Leaf-chan today. I have to leave now. See you guys later!" And with that Fire was out the door with Chu(5) trailing behind him.

"Did you want to do so-, I mean are you going out too, Red-oniisama?" Satoshi asked his remaining brother.

"Ah."

"Okay. Be careful Red-oniisama! The mountains can get cold so make sure you don't freeze! And don't forget to come home this time or I'll send Green-anchan to get you!" (6)

"Ah. Bye Sato-chan," Red gave his younger brother a hug before heading out and closed the door with Aka managing to jump on his shoulder beforehand.

"I guess it's just you and me today Pikachu," Satoshi felt his shoulders slump. He really wanted to spent time with one of his brothers too. It had been years since all four of them were home together and to think he was looking forward to it too.

"Once again, I'm left all alone," he muttered. They were always leaving him behind. While it wasn't easy being the brother of two former champions and the current champion(7) he didn't mind. He in fact looked up to them and had worked hard in his travels to live up to their reputations. But for some reason he always seemed to fall short. He couldn't help but wonder what his brothers thought. Did they think he was a failure?

"Pika pii. Pikachu! Chuu, Pika!" Pikachu squeaked as it brought its paw up to pat Satoshi's shoulder.

"Thanks Pikachu. You are right, what's important is that we are all home right? And we are all together. Thanks I feel much better, Pikachu," Satoshi brought his partner to a hug, "Well shall we bother 'Geru today? I'm sure he's doing something interesting."

"Chaa~!" the mouse squeaked in agreement.

Walking towards the kitchen he spotted two colorful bento boxes and a note. Making his way towards them he examined the boxes. One of them was blue and the other was purple. Picking up the note he read through it. After rereading it several times he couldn't help but feel a tinge of happiness. Satoshi felt giddy and he couldn't keep the grin that had somehow appeared off his face. Packing both of the bento boxes into his bag he looked down at Pikachu. "Let's go to 'Geru's place!" he exclaimed.

The sun was shining bright in the sky. And as Satoshi bathed in the sunlight he couldn't help but continuing to smile. Because no matter what his brothers cared, and that was enough for him. He definitely wasn't alone anymore.

Sato-chan,

Sorry I can't spend time with you today m( _ _ )m, but don't worry I'll be sure to spend time with you tomorrow. In the meantime please accept my apology in the form of a Bento. I made all your favorites. (=´∇=) I even made an extra one if you decide to go bother Shigeru. Make sure to have fun today.(^v^)

Wah~ Sorry Sato-chan. (-人-;)I'll catch a lot of fish for you, to make up not spending time with you today. Later on you and I can get some training done together. I mean you are so strong! I'm proud of you. See you when I get back!

Be careful. Don't hesitate to call if you need anything. I'll make sure to go on that Picnic that I promise we would do. Love you.

~From your (wonderful) Brothers

(1) This Red is from HGSS. Oniisama means older brother (a more respectful way to say it.)

(2) This Red is from the Pokemon Manga special. However, because he has the same exact name as Red, his nickname is Reddo (the Romanization of Red in Japanese). Both Satoshi and Fire will call him Red and tack on the niichan after his name. Red (HGSS) calls him Reddo though.

(3) Fire is from FRLG. Midori though will often call him Faiyaa (which is just the Romanization of his name)

(4) Because all four own Pikachu's they each have different names. Aka is Red's Pikachu. He didn't seem like the creative type, hence the self-explanatory name. Pika is Reddo's Pikachu like in the Manga. Chu is Fire's Pikachu which was named by Leaf. And Satoshi's Pikachu will just be known as Pikachu like in the anime.

(5)In HGSS Red spends his time in a mountain and you have to go there to challenge him. In this fic, he continues to spend time there.

(6 )Red won first, but got bored of being champion and went to challenge the Jouto league. During this time Reddo came and became the new champion. He too got bored and continued on to the Jouto league. Fire came next and beat the Elite four. However, upon beating them, he rejected the offer to stay champion and continued traveling. It was at this point that the Elite four changed to the one in HGSS. Red came back after Green (still sour that he lost the first time around) recommended he challenge the new Elite four, beat the new Elite four and decided to stay champion. He relocated to the mountains instead.

(7) The first Paragraph is written by Fire. Because Leaf rubbed off on to him, he finds himself using emoticons in everything. The second one is written by Reddo. It's in his personality to use emoticons. The last one is written by Red. He finds using Emoticons too troublesome. The (Wonderful) was probably written in by Reddo.

So how was it? Sorry if it is completely different from before. I honestly don't remember what I wrote. I know though that I wanted to express that Satoshi probably has issues with being alone. Which is why you will always see him traveling with friends. Each chapter is its own story so there will be no connection between chapters. The overall background story will be connected though. If's it's a bit dull in the beginning I apologize. The beginning chapters will just be used to set the background and introduce the characters.

Please R&R :)
