"Uhh…" I muttered as I slowly woke up. I was on a train. Not just a
train, but a train filled with anthropomorphic animals. I opened my suitcase and reached out for
my favourite horned hat and put it on.
I was confused about why I was on a train. It felt like I had just teleported into the train.
Soon, an indigo cat climbed off a seat and walked over to me. He asked me, "It's now 11:27,
December 9th, 2007, correct?"
"Yes," I replied.
"OK, I thought it was anyway. Is it alright if I sit here?" the cat asked.
"Sure."
"Thanks. I'm Rover, by the way. What's your name?" the cat said.
"Mine? Mine's Sam."
"Sam. That's a very good name for a girl," Rover replied.
"I'm not a girl!" I cried.
"Oh, sorry," Rover said. "Anyway, where are you heading, Sam?"
After hearing that, I realised why I was on the train.
"I'm moving to a town called Sinnoh."
"Have you been there before?"
"We went there once before, but it was only for a day or so."
"Oh, okay," Rover said. "Do you know where you'll be living?"
"No, not really," I replied
"Oh. I know someone in Sinnoh who could hook you up."
Rover walked off the seat and walked down a hallway. He opened a sliding door, walked through it and got out his mobile phone. He was talking to someone.
Although the door muffled his speech, I could kind of get what he was saying.
"So, what's the good word? You raking in the cash?" Rover said. "...Uh-huh… Yeah. Ooh, that's rough! Brutal!"
He continued talking for about 5 minutes.
"Anyway, as I was saying, I have someone here who wants to move to Sinnoh…" he continued. "But the poor boy still hasn't found somewhere to live. The kid's name? It's Sam."
I wanted to know what they were talking about.
"...Umm, yeah, today. So you think you can help him out?"
Rover came out of the room behind the sliding door and sat back down.
"I have good news! It sounds like my buddy has some BRAND NEW houses for sale!" Rover cried. "The work's done, but he hasn't been able to rent them. He wants to unload them, so he's willing to take a loss. You have money, right?"
"Only a little…" I replied. "I have 500 Bells."
"Oh," Rover said. "Anyway, we're nearly in Sinnoh."
I sighed a sigh of relief.
"Anyway, maybe we'll run into each other again sometime!" Rover said. "Goodbye and good luck!"
